The neighborhood of Nahlaot in Jerusalem is less a single neighborhood than a cluster of smaller semi-distinct neighborhoods that, beginning in the 1870s, grew incrementally as the city’s population expanded beyond the Old City. Batei Rand and Batei Broydes are two of these clusters, each with a few hundred residents. Both are overwhelmingly Haredi and built around semi-enclosed courtyards. The apartments are continuous and are stacked on two levels, the upper one accessible via a shared, wrap-around balcony. Most of the apartments are single-entrance and open into the courtyard, so there is little privacy, and the residents are, for the most part, very poor. Most families don’t own their home, but instead lease it on extremely favorable terms from a charitable organization. Many of the families have been in the neighborhood for generations, and the area, marked by labyrinthine cobblestone alleyways, Jerusalem stone, and gardens, has long been beloved by those that live there.

“It was the most quaint, amazing, incredible, peaceful, loving community,” a former resident recently told me. “A place where religious and secular got along with each other. It was like an example of what Israel could be.”

All of this changed in October 2010, when a 44-year-old man named Binyamin Satz was arrested. Satz is mentally handicapped, and court documents note that he is on state disability, has schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, and “a non-specific eating disorder.” According to his lawyer, Roy Politi, he eats “only bread and cheese, but not when they are touching.” Politi told me that Satz weighs less than 90 lbs. A neighbor described Satz as “very strange, very slight,” with an “extremely pronounced twitch from his shoulder to head.” Politi described Satz as “functioning like a 12-year-old kid.”

When Satz, who had been living with his parents in another section of Jerusalem, moved into his second-floor apartment in Nahlaot in the early 2000s, his father visited his son’s new neighbors. “His father came, he sat down in our living room,” said Malka Lerner, who asked to be referred to by a pseudonym. “And he told us, ‘Please accept my son, he is a special boy. He loves kids, he’s very nice to kids. He has no sexual yediah [knowledge]. He’s like a 7-year-old.’ ”

For as long as people can remember, Satz was socially involved with children, who, with their parents’ knowledge, would visit his apartment. How pervasive this was is hard to determine. Politi says, “the whole neighborhood, 30 to 40 kids,” but one parent told me, “no more than five children.” In any case, Politi says his client played chess or balance games with the local kids. Lerner would occasionally find one or both of her sons in Satz’s apartment. “Every once in a while, I would find them in the house, and I would call them out,” she said.

The first complaints surfaced in early October two years ago. Lerner, whose older boys, aged 6 and 7, had showed signs of developmental issues since moving to Nahlaot three years before, received a call from a close neighborhood friend, Noa Klein. “Her son came home crying that someone bit him,” Lerner told me of Klein. (Klein declined to be interviewed.) The boy wouldn’t say where, but when Klein was bathing him that night “she saw a bite on his private parts,” according to Lerner. Klein’s son wouldn’t say “who did it to him, but said it happened after he visited Binyamin Satz.” Lerner urged Klein to go to the police. And on Oct. 11, Klein reported to the police that her son had been bitten on the penis. According to Politi, the police have photographs of the wound, though the police would not make them available to me. Politi, who told me he has seen them, acknowledges that the pictures show a mark but says its cause is unclear. “It can be anything from closing a zipper to a real bite,” he said.

In her complaint—what the investigating officer wrote down on Oct. 11—Klein specifically said that Satz was not the one who bit her child, but that the child had left Satz’s apartment before meeting someone else who bit him:

The kid came home from Talmud Torah [school] at two o’clock and immediately started crying about someone biting him. I asked him, “Where?” and he said, “On my arm,” but there’s no mark. I told him, “Let’s find out who it was and we’ll catch him.” I gave him my hand, we ran outside, and then he told me that he met Binyamin, our neighbor, and he asked for toffee, or that Binyamin asked him if he wants toffee, I’m not sure, and then they went up to Binyamin’s apartment. [Speaking in voice of her son:] Binyamin has a “round thing” on his bed, and whoever stands there for a little bit gets a toffee, and whoever stands there longer gets ice cream, and I didn’t make it [i.e., didn’t manage to stand for a long time on the round thing] so I left there and then someone bit me. So, I asked him [and here she returns to her own voice], “Who bit you? Binyamin?” He answered in the negative. He said: “No, someone else, scary, without a kippah.”

Right now, Binyamin Satz, Benzion Primashelanu, and Zalman Cohen are in jail, charged with sodomy and violence against Israeli children. Six other men have been arrested, questioned on suspicions of the same, and released. A 70-year-old woman named Sarah Vorst was violently beaten by five men in February, her apartment ransacked, and her computer and telephone stolen—according to many because her attackers believed she was a mastermind behind the pedophiles’ plot.

To date, more than 70 children, nearly all from Haredi families in the tight-knit community of Nahlaot, have been interviewed by Social Services and have claimed to suffer severe sexual, psychological, physical, and ritual abuse at the hands of nearly 60 individuals. At least another 50 children have claimed abuse, though they were not interviewed by Social Services. The children have identified the perpetrators either by name or by telling characteristics: the one with the ponytail, the one who exercises, the filmer, the one with a walker, the one who wears a knitted kippah, and so on. Those accused include American immigrants, middle-aged men, elderly women (nearly half of those accused are female), geriatric couples, teenagers, mother-son teams, mentally handicapped individuals, at least one Arab, suspected Christian missionaries, and, more recently, a few prominent members of the community, including a rabbi. Some of those who have been identified by one or more children are unaware, or appear to be unaware, that they have been accused.

There was no hint of pedophilia in the community before October 2010. But the Haredi community in Nahlaot now believes that the highly organized ring has been operating secretly for years—possibly generations—and is governed by an elaborate hierarchy. According to community members with whom I’ve spoken over the past year, they believe that a small number of masterminds, including the 70-year-old Vorst, a convert to Judaism who directs Ohel Sarah Imenu, an organization that facilitates Haredi conversions, used formerly abused teenagers and mentally handicapped locals as scouts for the victims. Community members believe that these scouts watched the children and parents from outdoor locations that offered prime vantage points—under the guise of tending gardens, doing calisthenics, or panhandling—and memorized their schedules, recording when the children would be unsupervised. The pedophiles noted the schedules of various homeowners, residents of Nahlaot claim, and they allegedly snuck into dozens of apartments and sheds in the neighborhood in order to abuse the children, who have pointed out these locations to their parents. Many are convinced that there are Christian missionary motivations at play here and that false converts have infiltrated their community. A number of locals told me they believe that the videos and media produced by the pedophile ring are being sold for tens of thousands of dollars or more.

The Nahlaot situation is already widely referred to as the worst pedophile case in Israel’s history. This is a phenomenal understatement. If true, this would be, in terms of the number of perpetrators and the scope of conspiracy, unprecedented in known criminal history. Indeed, not only that: It would be the first proven instance of an association generally acknowledged to be the great white whale of sex crimes. “To be perfectly blunt,” said Dorothy Rabinowitz, a member of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board who won a Pulitzer Prize for her extensive coverage of such cases, “there is no such thing as a pedophile ring.”

***

By the summer of 2011, there was, in the eyes of many in the community, no doubt that a pedophile ring was in their midst. It was around this time, too, that Leiby Kletzky, an 8- year-old Hasidic boy from Brooklyn, was abducted and gruesomely murdered by someone in his community. Parental fears were at a fever pitch. Aaron Leibowitz, a rabbi in Nahlaot, wrote an open letter to the community:

A great darkness has come over our community. I am sorry to have to share with any of you who may be hearing this for the first time that over 100 children, almost exclusively from the charedi camp, have been molested by a circle of despicable sexual predators living amongst us. While a few of these monsters have been put behind bars, there are others who continue to walk free due to a lack of hard evidence, and the problematic nature of child testimony. I was personally told by the social service official in charge of interviewing the children that there is no doubt that some of these men are guilty, only a lack of admissible evidence.

This lack of admissible evidence was indeed a problem from the start. The two-page report of Noa Klein’s original complaint, which is now court evidence and which I read in Politi’s office, shows the interviewing officer clearly growing more and more concerned about Satz. The complaint certainly contains potentially inappropriate behavior—including having children over to play games—but nothing illegal was mentioned. Satz was nevertheless held, but after six days he was released due to lack of evidence.

Three days later, another complaint, this one filed by a local father named Dovid Manheim, mentioned Satz as well. Unlike Noa Klein’s complaint, this time Satz was directly accused. Mannheim approached the police to find out why Satz had been released after only six days. “My neighbors … told us that Binyamin Satz abused the children of one of the neighbors,” he said, according to the complaint. “We later found out that Binyamin Satz was arrested last Friday and was then released to house arrest, since there was no evidence against him because the kids didn’t tell the police or investigators. So, I came here yesterday to help, and I met the investigator Aliza, to find out how I can help in this case. She told me they need a testimony about an act that happened with a child. I came to the police today, because last night I asked my son [redacted], who’s 7, ‘Did you go into his house?’ That’s all I asked. And then he told me everything on his own.”

After hearing these stories, Lerner began to suspect that her own children’s developmental issues—which include extreme fear, antisocial tendencies, nervousness, and incontinence—might be due to Satz as well. She told me she gently interrogated her younger son, then 4-and-a-half years old. “I told him Binyamin Satz is in jail,” she recounted. “He said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘because he did things to kids. Did he ever do anything to you?’ He told me, ‘No, he never did bad things, he just wanted to educate me.’ ‘How do you educate kids?’ He said he gave punishments for bad kids. He started describing, ‘He stuck a screwdriver in my backside,’ and all these sexual things that I can’t describe.”

By late 2010, dozens of children had told their parents they were abused, and the circle of accused kept growing. The acts reported by the children, nearly all between the ages of 3 and 9, are incredibly horrific and often very bizarre. Virtually none of the allegations involve only one molester and one victim; the children have consistently claimed multiple offenders and multiple victims. There are reports of orgies involving as many as 20 adults and more than a dozen children. There were, allegedly, frequent raping and forced sodomy of children as young as 2 years old. The children claim that various objects—including large branches, semi-automatic rifles, screwdrivers, and other carpenter’s tools—were forcibly stuck up their anuses and other orifices; that knives were held to their throats; that they were told that if they didn’t voluntarily return to be raped, they would be “chopped up into little pieces,” or that their entire families would be murdered. They claim that they were shown, by way of threat, the guns that would be used for this purpose and told that cameras had been installed in their homes to ascertain their silence. The children claim that they were, on various occasions, bound up and beaten, held on top of open flames, lashed with sticks, burned with chemicals, given soft drinks spiked with hallucinogens, and injected with drugs.

The majority of the allegations include reports of video-recording and photography, and the children say they were forced to watch pornographic movies and violent sexual encounters between their abusers. Some children say they were abducted at night from their homes, viciously abused, and returned to their beds. Others say they were abducted from school and then returned. Babysitters were said to be threatened with severe physical punishment or death unless they brought the children in their care to the pedophiles. There are reports of witches, magic doors, secret basements, and large dogs used to intimidate the children. Many allegations include elements of ritual and Christian abuse, including forced prostration and benedictions, sexual acts involving massive iron crosses, and various other forms of foreign worship. Some children say they were taken to a nearby church, where they were abused by priests, as well as other undercover Christians.

In the wake of these allegations, the neighborhood underwent an immediately noticeable change of spirit. No one could be trusted. Parents were daily being informed by their children and friends that neighbors they’d known for years, invited over for Shabbat meals, or given charity to, were actually perverted sadistic pedophiles who had been terrorizing their children in ways no one could imagine. At this point, seemingly no family has gone unaffected: In certain sections of the neighborhood, 100 percent of families have children, and often more than one, who have been reportedly abused. I have heard reports of a family with 10 children, all claiming abuse.

Many residents began to feel unsafe in the neighborhood, and a few families moved out in the summer of 2011. The rest, most of whom can’t afford to leave, entered into a continual state of panic and powerlessness, terrified by the accused perpetrators still living freely among them. The police discredited all but nine of the children’s testimonies, deeming them unreliable and unsuitable as evidence, which community members began to see as indicating, alternately, that the police did not take their claims seriously, that there was considerable anti-Haredi bias, that proper personnel was not assigned to the cause, that they stalled and delayed investigations, “lost” paperwork, and did not promptly collect potential evidence. The police repeatedly refused or ignored my requests for comment.

But after a few confused and shell-shocked months, the community began to organize itself in late 2011. Parents began raising awareness via personal blogs and websites, spearheading fundraising campaigns for therapy and legal fees, and organizing various sympathetic newspaper and radio reports. Most significantly, the community found a central organizing force in Altea Steinherz, an American therapist who lives in Rechavia, a neighborhood adjacent to Nahlaot. Steinherz, who specializes in addictions and eating disorders, began devoting herself on a volunteer basis to the alleged victims and their cause. “This [case] is not going to go away by itself,” Steinherz told me.

Steinherz arranged interviews with police and lawyers for most of the families, many of whom, according to Steinherz, “simply have no idea what to do in a situation like this.” Steinherz does not have a degree in psychology or abuse counseling; she has a certificate called a CASAC, which certifies her to do alcohol- and substance-abuse counseling. Nevertheless, in late 2011 she emerged as the strategist and spokesman for the cause: directing the collection and dissemination of information, raising awareness and support, and coordinating the collection of testimonies and any available evidence. She’s also organized PR and media campaigns—critical work, since many of the Haredi residents of Nahlaot don’t have the Internet.

At some point, though, a strain of vigilantism—rhetorical and actual—emerged, nurtured by the perceived ineffectiveness on the part of the police. By September 2011, less than a year after the first allegation surfaced, a local named Sid Marcus (known in the community as Skippy), an older American who doesn’t speak Hebrew or Yiddish but is nonetheless widely believed to be a ringleader, was arrested but never charged. While he was being held, a small mob destroyed his “garden,” a sort of public art project of drilled-in pots and pans. That same month, residents attempted to saw through a pair of willow trees that Zalman Cohen, one of the men currently in custody, used to tend. Another man accused by many in the community, 16-year-old Motti Friedman, was beaten near his home.

In December 2011, the consequences turned deadly: Yochanan Spielberg, a man in his sixties and a neighbor of Satz accused of taking part in the ring (though never arrested by the police) was found hanging in his apartment. The police ruled it a suicide, which some found to be curious, since Spielberg’s hands and feet were bound when his body was found.

What’s absolutely clear is that the children involved believe they were abused. “To date, I have not met anyone who has spoken to the kids who has any doubts that this is true,” Liebowitz, the rabbi, told me. “I know when a child lies,” Steinherz added. “And these children are not lying.” Many in the community believe the children must be telling the truth, if only because they can imagine no other way the children could know about such graphic sexual activity. How else would Haredi children know about such concepts like television and movies, not to mention pornography? The majority of community members I spoke to said the police are corrupt. Steinherz and others claim they have been threatened by accused pedophiles, which they believe further proves their guilt. “It’s all true,” she said of the children’s allegations. “Every single thing is true.”

Cases similar to Nahlaot’s, many whose particulars are even more extreme, have occurred frequently in the past, particularly in the 1980s and early 1990s, with as many as 500 or more children reporting horrific and fantastic abuse at the hands of dozens, or even hundreds, of adults. In order to classify and recognize these cases, the FBI’s Kenneth Lanning, who worked in the Behavioral Science Unit from 1981 until 2000, developed a model that describes what he termed “multi-dimensional sex rings.” (This term, Lanning admits, never really caught on; more frequently used is “ritual abuse,” “organized abuse,” or “satanic/sadistic ritual abuse.”) The model delineates four criteria: multiple offenders and multiple victims who are considerably younger than “standard” pedophile victims; the victims are controlled and coerced primarily through fear; the abuse occurs in communities that are insular and ultra-conservative; and at least some of the abuse in question is extreme, grotesque, or incorporates ritualistic aspects.

A study of past cases reveals startling similarities: The accusation always begins with a single complaint and is always parent-driven. The children’s accounts contain fabulous or impossible elements—magic tunnels, bullets that find their target, walls and people that disappear, and so on. The conspiracies being alleged are far-reaching and highly improbable. There are untrained professionals involved driving the investigations. There are nearly always claims of video recording and of being forced to watch porn and adults having sex.

This history is relevant because, to borrow Lanning’s term, a multi-dimensional sex ring has never once been substantiated. Never, despite the enormity of the crimes in question, and despite the numbers of times they’ve been alleged, has any independently corroborated evidence been found. Many of the children who testified in these cases have, as adults, recanted their testimonies, and courts have, over the years, turned over convictions that were based purely on children’s testimonies. In the most famous of these cases—the McMartin preschool trial in California, which ran from 1984 through 1990 and in which more than 350 children claimed they had been abused at their daycare center—every single allegation was thrown out.

Before Noa Klein went to the police, no parents or any adult in Nahlaot had ever made an official complaint to police alleging anything like this. No parent claimed to notice their child came home horrifically abused, beaten, or raped, despite the fact that the abuse allegedly went on for years and is of an extraordinarily violent nature. No child was reported missing. Indeed, up until October 2010, no adult ever noticed anything amiss, despite the tightness of Nahlaot’s layout, and despite the children’s reports that they were herded up in broad daylight. No teacher ever spoke up; nobody noticed a dozen children missing from school for hours at a time, then returned after bouts of violent sexual abuse. Many of the apartments where the acts allegedly took place are immediately adjacent to other homes, but no neighbors ever noticed that anything was amiss. No forensic evidence has been found. No incriminating videos or any sort of media have been discovered, despite computers and hard drives of the accused being seized (or stolen), and despite nearly every alleged act being videotaped or photographed. (In fact, according to Lanning, no media indicating the existence of a multi-dimensional sex ring has ever been found, despite very extensive seizures of child pornography worldwide.) None of this means that instances of abuse did not occur. But the question of whether one or more children were molested has been minimized by the hunt for a massive pedophile ring.

Many in the community see the absence of evidence as proof that the police or the judge are suppressing the evidence. “The only people who have the computers are the police,” one resident told me. “And all the kids say there was video involved, and all the computers have been confiscated, yet they’ve shown us nothing.” Steinherz claims that some of the accused are computer geniuses, and that they’ve encrypted the material so that it can’t be accessed, and that the police have allowed family members of the accused to hide or destroy potential evidence.

Police did find tools in Satz’s apartment—Satz is an amateur bookbinder—that the children said were used in their abuse. But they had no traces of incriminating DNA. The only tangible evidence submitted to the court was a photo album of children from the neighborhood that was found in Satz’s apartment. In it, the children are fully clothed and in non-sexual positions.

Instead, parents have offered up retrospective insights into their children’s states: All behavioral and development issues, from bedwetting to nervousness, became indications of abuse. There were no reports of rectal bleeding or any other physical signs that would be expected. Yet entire medical records of children have been thoroughly reviewed by Steinherz and others, and seemingly every entry is now presented as an indication of abuse. Parents now recall episodes when children were missing for brief periods of time, or came home crying, or clung to their mothers. Rashes, constipation, and urinary infections—not abnormal conditions for children—are now assumed to be the result of sexual abuse. “Physically, he never had simanim [physical signs],” Lerner told me about her younger son. “If it was red, I thought he had a rash, I thought he was constipated,” she said. “I never imagined it was … you don’t imagine such things.”

According to Politi, Manheim, who made the first official complaint against Satz, later admitted in court to repeatedly asking his son, over the course of that week, if something ever happened to him at the hands of Binyamin Satz. According to Politi, Manheim’s son, who has testified in court against Satz, first denied this, then claimed that something had indeed happened. As a result, Satz was then re-arrested, and after a series of interrogations that, contra to Israeli law, were not recorded, confessed. (The confession itself, and not the hours of conversation that preceded it, is on tape. But Israeli law mandates that all police-suspect interactions—especially with suspects charged with a felony—must be video-recorded.) In the confession, Satz admits that he might have touched the kids under their clothes, and that he might be sexually attracted to children. Politi says his client was threatened: He was told he could go home if he confessed and to a large extent did not understand what was happening. Politi told me: “The investigator asked, ‘So you put your finger in his ass?’ and Satz answered, ‘I guess so, kids don’t lie.’ She asked, ‘You told me the whole truth?’ And Satz says, ‘I told you much more than the whole truth.’ ”

***

Did this man do this to you? To a child, this is highly suggestive, especially coming from a panicked parent convinced something has in fact happened. Some children who admitted something had happened to them were given candy or toys. Parents showed their children pictures of suspects and asked if these men had done anything to them. Many children who denied being abused were repeatedly questioned, especially after a suspect’s guilt was seemingly established. A mother, who has requested anonymity, recounted her reaction when told that Sid “Skippy” Marcus had allegedly abused her children: “We asked our kids, and they were like no, no, no, no. And the day Skippy was arrested … I asked my son: Did Skippy ever do anything immodest to you? And he goes like this [nodding].”

Overzealous investigators, which can include parents, therapists, and even other children, can seriously affect a child’s account or even memory of what has happened, especially when those investigators are convinced that the child in question has indeed been abused and it’s their job to get the child to admit it. “Many of these investigations are started by the parents who are not properly investigating,” said Lanning. “They’re just trying to find out what happened to their kid.” And they will not stop until they do so. “A single complaint, whether true or not, can set off a moral panic,” Rabinowitz, the journalist, told me. “Which can quickly get out of control.”

A community in the grips of a moral panic will, as a rule, first target its misfits. All who have been arrested or questioned by police in Nahlaot are very clearly outsiders in the community. They were, a neighbor told me, “atypical, easy to accuse, misfit, single older men.” Many, like Satz and Primashelanu, are mentally handicapped. Noach Friedman, who was institutionalized after being released, would barge into homes and break plates and has had to be rescued from his studio apartment twice after setting his bed on fire. Naftali Zilberman and Yaakov Weissfish, who were both arrested and released, are also mentally handicapped. Zalman Cohen is a belligerent South African immigrant married to a convert who used to interrupt walking tours of the neighborhood. Skippy is a non-Haredi senior citizen with a ponytail who was repeatedly described to me with terms like “obnoxious” or “asshole,” and is an exercise fanatic. (He was originally identified, I was told by a parent, after the kids said they were forced to do calisthenics. “These retarded guys were forcing the kids, as part of the molestation, to do exercise,” the parent told me.) Missionary Christians, of course, are the ultimate “other” in a Haredi community.

This is the reality that the Nahlaot community now finds itself in. There is no room for skepticism. Even the accused pedophiles whom I have communicated with believe there are pedophiles in Nahlaot—it’s just not them. But the required logistics of a secret pedophile ring this size—the organization necessary to continually and extensively abuse an entire demographic of a whole neighborhood without being discovered—remains the least credible aspect of the allegations. The difficulty of keeping a conspiracy a secret increases exponentially with each additional member, and with as many as 70 it’s virtually impossible. “You cannot be engaged in this kind of activity for this long and leave behind little or no corroborative evidence,” Lanning said. “The more people involved in a crime, the greater the crime, the greater the likelihood that there’s going to be some kind of corroborative evidence left behind, physical evidence.”

After expressing the findings of my early research, I told Steinherz, the therapist, that I needed corroborative evidence aside from the children’s testimony in order to report that there was indeed a pedophile ring in Nahlaot. The evidence I was ultimately provided or made aware of included: court documentation that strongly suggested police incompetence or corruption; archived web pages that showed that some of the accused had lied about not knowing each other; medical records of various ailments; pictures the children drew; the detailed account of a therapist named Levana Khalili, a witness for the prosecution; and stories of corroboration among the children. None was evidence of a pedophile ring; all was material that reinforced an already assumed narrative. Yet in all my conversations with Steinherz, parents, rabbis, therapists, and community organizers, not once was it acknowledged that these might be the products of a child’s imagination.

The question of whether Satz—or anyone—molested children has now, unfortunately, become impossible to answer. It’s also, from a criminal perspective, in all likelihood irrelevant. “If you ask me, everyone will be convicted,” Politi said. In total cases, “not-guilty verdicts in Israel are 4 percent. In sex crimes, it’s zero-point something. The basic assumption is ‘Why should the victim lie?’ ”

“One of the real tragedies of these cases is that once contamination takes place, you can’t undo it,” said Lanning. And it is clear that the case in Nahlaot has been contaminated—in other words, the facts can no longer be reliably determined—whether by the parents, whom police say are at fault for asking their children leading questions, or the police, whom the community says provided no guidance and were generally incompetent. “I believe that in most of these cases, maybe not all of them, there are seeds of truth, something happened here,” says Lanning. “And then through a complicated process, however sadly and unfortunately, the whole thing got exaggerated and embellished, and the sad result may be that someone who did bad things to children may now get away with it.”

Readers interested in the striking similarities between Nachlaot and the Satanic Ritual Abuse panic of the 1980s in the US should read a comprehensive cultural history of the American tragedy: “Satan’s Silence: Ritual Abuse and the Making of a Modern American Witch Hunt.” Americans and Israelis would also do well to collaborate in figuring out what cultural tensions in Israel have led to a replay of this destructive phenomenon in that country.

This makes no sense. An organized ring of pedophiles? To what end? I
might be wrong, but isn’t pedophilia usually a shameful, solitary pursuit?
Obviously, there are organizations in which it runs rampant (i.e. the
Catholic Church) but these organizations were not specifically created
for the purpose of recruiting pedophiles/finding victims, (although there
is often a systematic cover up to protect the organization.)

This is not a case of selling/renting children as sex slaves for money (as happens often in Asia.) So, what’s the point of an elaborate organization? How does
the organizer of the scheme benefit from having others work for him/her if no money changes hands? The more people involved, the greater the risk… with no additional benefit. Of course, there’s NAMBLA, but that’s more like an association of like-minded individuals, not some secret pyramid scheme where victims are coerced, threatened and abused.

This story doesn’t smell kosher to me. Methinks the parents are ignorant and hysterical, and passing on their hysteria to their children.

Why didn’t you study the subject before you commented? This is a cancer that spreads silently & fear is used on the victims. Putin is one of these people! Did you see him lift a young boys tee shirt & kiss his body. Google it. Jimmy Savile was knighted, yet the head people in the BBC knew he was a pedophile. The Palace & the BBC must be crawling with them. And then you have Secret Societies. Bush & Reagan were involved with a sex scandal at Boystown, an Orphanage.

“This makes no sense. An organized ring of pedophiles? To what end? I
might be wrong, but isn’t pedophilia usually a shameful, solitary pursuit?”

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the first part of your comment. My God, how ignorant can people be in the 21st century.

And what about White Slavery in Israel TODAY? Are you aware of that? Do you know that thousands of Eastern females are brought into Israel, lured by the promise of a job, but wind up in a brothel? Are you aware that Bertha Pappenheim exposed this same Sex Slave Trade before the Second World War & it was JEWS who were enslaving fellow Jews into prostitution? Are you aware that the Russian Mafia is mostly controlled by Jews?

When you settle the Palestinian problem, you will have the Mother of Problems to solve. And that is Jew on Jew exploitation. Why do you think all the smart rich Jews live outside Israel? The biggest problem in the future will be that there will be no Goyim to exploit & then the proverbial s–t hits the Jewish fan.

I remember the ritual abuse panics in the States in the 80s, and this sounds exactly the same. It’s not true, clearly. This kind of thing…with dozens of people involved, the insanely improbable scenarios and ritual weirdness, and no physical evidence left behind–it doesn’t happen. A tragedy for this to happen to a community.

interesting article. firstly i am the small mob that destroyed the garden. please ask me before you make such a statement. get the facts. i am well known as the idiot who helped skippy make the garden after he approached me at 3 shirizly and asked me to help him as i had such a pretty garden. i am the idiot who gave him plants, cleaned the garden and worked there for free for nearly 5 years until i found out why he had the garden as a front. and then i ripped it apart. 2 people helped me and asked not to be identified. the plants were given to anyone who wanted them and the woodwork and posters were thrown out.

more important we had huge success in court last thursday. we have told the judge that dr vivene damelin is a fraud and supplies the date rape drug to zalman cohen and the judge agrees that leah amdur, my lawyer and me, can continue to warm the public about this dangerous woman.

she put together a congress on holistic and health and trauma at ramat rachel hotel this month. we warned the public to not go. we found that dr ben rothstein one of the speakers has been struck of as a doctor in america and there are allegaitions that 10 people died under his care.

another one of the speakers a neighbour, i personally asked him why he was going to the conference as a speaker when he knows the connection betwen damelin and cohen. he said and i have witnesses, viv does not send girls to cohen anymore. in other words he knows they are evil people and is still going to the confernece.

we sent messages to the other speaker warning them to and the hotel. no one answered. they are all so used to getting protection they never thought we would do them damage.

judge abasi thought different. he thought we were telling the truth about damelin and cohen and the letter from one our leading psychaitrists here judith gedaliah warning that cohen and damelin are extremely dangerous, do things against the halacha and no one should patients to these 2 fakes.

and my own witness about dameline approaching me at a evening of new olim from south africa. to pimp me for cohen which resulted in me going totally hysterical , and reliving the rape i went through when i came here 9 years ago. the judge believed me that i was in deep trauma and telling the truth. in fact in the court record i say to damelin, why did you bring me to court, you know i will explode when i see you, and you are the one who gives the drugs to the women and children victims.

i have copies of all the court records and have given some to a few haradi families as i always do, i have been taken twice to court by skippy and then to the police. and found innocent each time.

anyone is welcome to come to my house and see my court papers. we would appreciate anyone to come with us when we go back to court to present my defense to the charges . the more women who will come with children to face this monster who helped cohen to rape children – make them pay for their sins.

this story is now going to go worldwide with our courtcase. anyone who wants to first ask me before they write what they think is welcome. leah amdur is making a court case for me, first time in my life against cohen and damelin and i am going to be a witness against cohen. in the words of the police. the judge will not be able to throw out my testimony.

if the damn media had reported my story about cohen in 2007 when i tried to get them to do so, the children would have been saved. at the time i did not know about the pedophiles. the media people all knew about cohen and despite that refused to run the story. jerusalem post the blood of the children is on your head and the others who told me i was slandering saint cohen.

nefesh b’nefesh and ou centre were fantastic and look after their people and do not take chances to endanger their people. rav berel wein told me to go public and shame the rabbinim . i have records of all i spoke to and am writing a book and movie about this.

to all those who gave me such a hard time, i told you the truth and now you are going to have to accept that i did not lie. choke on it.

and the haradim who are praying for me to have wisdom and power and are totally happy with all my efforts, i am so glad i had this chance to fight for the children i did not know. now after 10 long years of my own daughters fury with me for divorcing their father. my young daughter sent me a email that she is pregnant for the first time, her husband was told he could not bring children to the world, and she asked for my blessing.

i have the name for my grandson tzuriel, i heard it today for the first time on a trip to sderot. so now with shmuel who has been my back and defender in court and been blessed with shlom bayit, my luck has at last also changed. and my dear friend who was always there for me all through the dark days just got married and we are all delighted with her happiness. my neighbour jewish mom just had a baby boy. to her total delight. so who are you to talk against us when hashem is blessing our efforts.

for the many who dont want to be made public who are praying for us to succeed, and are not blocking the light of hashem to shine down, thank you all. for those high on their drugs and ego , get out of the way.

menachem come on over if you want facts and copies of the court case. the protection of the perverts is now over. no one will want to back them up now we can prove that drugs were given, to whom and why???to the fairies in the air ?to the stones in the streets?, no to the children. they did not lie

everyone who did so much damage to hurt the children better start to do hesbon nefesh so that the fury of hashem does not give them what they deserve.now the in thing is to help the children and not to mock them.

You do realize that you are incoherent, right? I’m sure you are sincere, I’m even sure you suffered some trauma, but no one who has looked at this situation objectively, such as very level headed neighbors of yours like R. Elkohen, think there was a massive pedophilia ring.

clap clap clap well done another amanda groupie. i love it when the professionals get jealous and show how superior their wisdom i s. even thought nothing that they do has worked for many years and the problem is just growing.
get your facts straight dc. amanda is a friend of sarah vorst and zalman cohen so therefore she covers for them. speak to my lawyer leah amdur who has the facts.
as for me and being iincoherent i will ignore that stupid remark. seeing as i am the one who turned this place upside down and got the results, ask skippy, zalman cohen,fishman,and now mondrowitz about ruth cohen and see how white they turn. ok.

i am not looking for medals or prizes or fame from this. so if i ramble on or dont walk the walk the way you like it tough for you. i got results and as i told amanda all the nice words dont .

now run back to report to her and remember i have a very good lawyer
and i will slap a court case on anyone who blocks this holy work. not because i give a damn about my name, i dont, because no one is going to stop this from being exposed. the children have been through hell because so many want to cover this up. it will not be covered up anymore. no matter which rabbinim are protecting them.

as zalman cohen said to me a year before his arrest at rosh hashanah when i told him this year you are running out of luck, he looked at me and for a second there was sadness in his eyes and his cockiness stopped and he said “you are right but you have the wrong stragety. ” yes well really. is that so.

ask his ex wife who put him in prison, yes the evidence of the victims helped but my endless pursuit of him over the years got him to start losing his confidence and making mistakes.

as i say to him every time i see him “i am going to get you – you bastard”
all those who even think of getting in the way move aside folks.

its not about ruth and how holy or wicked or crazy or whatever she is. its about the children. i am the voice of the children, in the court, in the media i speak for them. and the haradim thank me for that.

now why dont you go and ask them dont take my word. go and ask them take a tour and ask them and dont bring dubious people like amanda on her ego trip. the real fighters here many prefer to be in the dark now and unnamed, not one has a ego trip. they like me to speak out for them, and when its the right time i will step aside and they will speak out. this is what they want. go and ask them

pride does not let the light of hashem shine through a man. anyone with pride blocking the way does not have hashems light. that is why so many of you dont see the truth. you love painted lies.

you are not hurting me, mocking me, destroying me. you are destroying the children., i want to stand in front of the judge of the world with clean hands about the children.what do you want???

the ou centre was going to have some lectures a few years ago with another cohen groupies, da costa. i phoned them and said watch out they already heard about cohen. they said to me but one person phoned to give her a recommendation. i said to th em. “big deal one person, the mother, the sister, the girlfriend. what about the many victims that will come and scream at you for letting these despicable people speak from your place” and it was cancelled. they are not fools. one person proves nothing.

you dont like me. well no one can fault jewish mom or leah amdur. these are women who are spotless in character with good names. and no motive except to save the children. dont use me to bash the children or make some other professional look nice.

i am the expert. i get results. keep quiet and learn from the best or move out of my way.

You do know that there is the ability to stick up for these kids and get the bad men behind bars without slandering people who are on the same side as you, who also want the bad guys behind bars and the innocent victims helped, right? Trash talking Amanda and Rabbi Elkohen because they say to be rational and to look at the facts and not to inflate stories about there being a ring of 100 pedophiles when there probably were fewer pedophiles, but still pedophiles, doesnt do you any good. You want more people on your side, not less, and alienating people who have the same goal as you because they’re thinking rationally instead of hysterically, doesnt further your goals. If you care about the children, get people on your side. As many people as you can. Not try to turn people against each other who all want the bad guys in jail and the kids helped.

i never mentioned amanda once until she went for me. her husband ripped me to pieces on his blog and mocked me and shut me up and i never said a word about it for a long time.

. do you keep quiet when you are mocked by a arrogant man younger than you in public. no you dont. i dont need anyone on my side. its about the children.

i dont do trash. i tell truth. i am sick to death of the experts and brilliant people looking down at me like i am filth and doing me a favour by letting me breathe.

please dont preach papa. i have fought this war alone here in my area except for jewish mom who is happy to share the load, and i have put up with tons of nastiness from so many. dont you dare lecture me about how i have to play nice

. this is nice honey. i am israeli born here and this is as nice as i get. you piss on me and treat me like filth, yes i keep quiet, even for years but when its time to speak out then its time. dont talk down to me i am not a child. i talk for them but i am not a fool or a child or on a ego trip.

that is a fact. its also a fact that saint amanda supports cohen and vorst. get your facts right. before you preach to me in a public place . my victim days are over world. now you answer to me and i make the demands.

i demand that you stop jumping on the bandwagon of bashing ruth. enough. enough. enough. . back off and leave me alone to do a mans job.

ruth krinsky. born l953 june 13, bet holim emahot, in haifa lived in moshav habonim / ,parents moved to rishpon and then later to south africa in 1959. did my schooling there joined the j.witnesses at age 21 and was with them until 10 years ago when i came to jerusalem. and am only with hashem.

and i am bored about saint amanda. gog and magog is breaking out now with the vote in the un against us. moshiach is here. and if amanda helped the children good for her.even if her husband is rude to me good for them all. hell good for the moon. moshiach is here. we are under judgement. the world just voted us for death. who cares. this is irrelevant.

the gog and magog party is now in full swing. amen amen amen.
amanada honey lets party all together now moshiach moshiach

be careful with your words. i have reached my point of no return. i am telling everyone here that from today i will be slapping legal charges against any person who uses this kind of language about me.

i am totally sane, no doctor in the world will find me mentally retarded. this is a fact. its a old trick to smear someone when you dont like what they say and its cheap .

i am no longer the victim. i worked damn hard to raise above and the days when i did not give a damn what was said about me, are now over. you dont get to villify me in public and not pay the price. so back off.

if you are wrong about the children, if something happened, then how do you feel about shooting the messenger. how will you answer to the creator of heaven and earth???

yes in europe when jabotinsky came around warning jews to leave the rabbinim told them to stay and they said all the things that are said to people like me who scream out the emperor has no clothing, its always likes this . those who support the system dont let facts bother them. they want things to go on as they are.

while those who fight the system rip it to pieces and after they are called crazy, they become the norm. be careful who you curse because tomorrow i will be the expert and you will be flocking to me and you will pay a lot for my advice. a hell of a lot. what i do today for free for the children. tomorrow it will cost plenty. because i have worked my entire life to get to this point to have the knowledge,drive and power to achieve this great job.

dont mix oranges and apples. stick to the issue here . its a fact that we have a huge money making racket called kiddie porn. and the free west has no problem with it at all. and america allows it. think about that.the rape of even babies,filmed and sold for money. this does not disgust you. rather you are upset by me?

and who is crazy???? the women as mentioned here in the brothels of israel, some burned to death as they are locked up and some guy put the place on fire in tel aviv and they all died??? and i am crazy???

natan you dont see a problem here??? you just see that i am crazy – you got a problem bro a huge problem.

natan look at the problem and come up with a solution. i am listening. if you have a better way to deal with this tell me, in the meantime when you are alone fighting a corrupt system, with fools and wicked people supporting it blindly what the hell do you want from me?

the same fools that flock to rock concerts to worship the whores of hollywood, the same fools that flock to rabbi’s graves to worship the old corrupt goat, the same fools that are empty headed robots who do not think for themselves god forbid. that send their children into the arms of drug dealers, whose children are drinking away their youths in our streets every night, whose aim in life is to buy more and more trash in a overcrowded house while they are in debt. the same fools that keep voting in the same corrupt politicians no matter how many times they are let down by them. the same fools who believe what the media writes is truth .

no natan,i am not one of those fools., and get it right its not sharif its harif. as in rav aisel harif, harif.sharp,sarcastic,hot,burning hot. i never took drugs and never drank myself into any bottles of anything. my mind is clear and works extremely well and i never learned the art of lying and swallowing lies.

you dont like that who cares,. that is the reason i am taking on the corrupt system and not you. and dealing with the truly braindead retards. those who support the filthy, corrupt, rotten system.so either come and help clean up the corruption if you have any derech eretz, or stand aside while we who know what we are doing, get on with the job and dont give me instructions. i know. you cannot have it both ways

now i have given enough of my limited precious time to your concerns. if you write another word to insult me, you are going to be in trouble legally with me. enough. how dare you open your mouth to one of the very few actually helping and yes i did investigate before i jumped in.

and actually i have a confession that the police refused to take, thought the deputy mayor came to hear it. a confession from a pervert saying not only is he a pervert but he is also going to go out and murder many parents and children. but the police did not want evidence to mix up the facts right of course right. and the same pervert sends me emails now, a year later admitting that i was in his house, we had the conversation. and i am crazy?

hell the police cant get confessions and i can = you call that crazy?

if the tablet would let me write an article to respond to this, i will put up the statement from the very good friend of zalman cohen and again if you dont know about the victory we had in court 22nd nov, trial continuing this week, its the women who supplies the date rape drug to zalman cohen. the judge agrees with us that she is a danger to the public, we can warn others about her, she is a fake doctor, and that she makes and distributes date rape drugs.

so if the children are confused, look at the drugs they were given and the brainwashing techniques cohen uses on his victims, including me, been there done that

judge with mercy so that hashem has mercy on you. a two year old drugged, tortured,raped, beaten, and you want him to make sense?? if it happened to you god forbid at your age, would you make sense?? you would dig a hole and bury yourself in it my fine friend , you would hide with shame. and you blame the children for lying????spit and spit.

shalom and do hesbon nefesh. hashem will not be merciful after you read these facts and still blame the children despite them.be careful. the judge of the world is watching our words and actions.you answer to him not me. and you want to see crazy,wait until he takes his revenge on this wicked world. not for nothing it says only a remnant will remain.

A two year old who is drugged, tortured, raped and beaten has marks on him. The hallmark of hysteria cases like these is when children are said to suffer horrific abuse that mysteriously requires no medical care. Ma’am, I understand that you believe. I understand that you’re not going to change your mind no matter what. But this madness gets people killed.

natan shut the fuck up. you retard. i dont konw a single person from the haradi patrol nor do i beat people up with hands. i have a brain. i use it. and the ones who beat the witch up are the same ones who beat and killed speilberg who is with the cia, we dont know who did it but it was probably the cia to make more confusion. so shut the fuck up. i am now going to take legal action against you. you have not checked out any facts that i have given and are just determined to make me look like a fool. its enough – too late for apology now you pay with your bucks. see you in court .

Sure, go ahead with the court. A court of Israeli law, not of one of your local ayatollahs, Baba This and Baba That. I would be very interested to hear you explaining under legal oath, Ruth Cohen, where were you the night Yochanan Spielberg was murdered.

how many times have i written , makbit, how many more times do i have to tell you fools. there is evidence. physical evidence . doctors reports of physical evidence or does rape of the child not count as long as you can throw around hysterica. bite marks on a baby body not count. the social workers all know and are terrified to speak out and cant give the reports to us to read or show.
they were raped, drugged and brainwashed,i just proved in court that the women giving and making the drugs is the fake dr damelin, if you dont accept that the judge agrees when you can read the court papers on leah amdurs facebook wall, which i will translate into english now, i dont have time and nor does she . we are working day and night to give out the info.

for the love of god and sanity stop with the damn lies. evidence we have , the judges bury the movies and testimony of over 60 children. what the hell can we do when the evidence is covered up and you fool ssay see no evidence and ignore the facts that exist.

no the cover up gets children raped and they would prefer death tot he horrible lives they have. dont you preach to me when you are talkign nonsense based on lies because you are too lazy to check it out. check it out and i am waiting for your response after that

no friend of mine mocks me. no you are not on my side. so just call yourself an enemy that i can deal with. what the hell do you know about me or amanada and who is telling the truth here and what are our motives. lots of criminals talk really nice and polite and so do their lawyers when they are not ripping up the victims in court. if the softr slippery talk is how you judge, read the book of proverbs. its got a lot to say about slippery lips and lies. they go together.

I have no idea who Amanda is. I am simply someone who lives a few blocks away in the more normal part of town and has been following this in the media with a keen awareness of the various witch trials that went on in the US with the same features of the Nachlaot pedophilia pandemonium.

I also have no idea about this Zalman Cohen or anyone else in particular. I’m sure that there are a number of crazy/evil people in the neighborhood. I’m also pretty sure there are abused kids and the police are incompetent. But the bottom line is that the chance that there was a massive child abuse ring operating for years with hundreds of victims is utterly preposterous. And the fact that this idea is being championed by people who can’t get a coherent thought across and sound like raving lunatics is simply confirmation.

I take the conclusion of a normal upstanding level-headed resident with a lot of life experience such as Rabbi Elkohen over disjointed ramblings any day of the week. If people like him were half as outspoken as the other bloggers and well meaning but incompetent activists then this entire episode would not have devolved into this mess.

ell soon you wil find out that we rambling idiots and victims are telling the truth. the judge says different from nice level headed rav elkohen who probably is not a rape victim himself. us vicims have a hard time playing by the rules of a society that dont want to hear us and tells us to behave and when we dont makes us the bad guys. so get a hold of the victims point of view . you see if you judge us the way you do now,then hashem will judge you the same way, without mercy and understanding of the pain and anguish we carry with us all our lives. the kids got me to be their spokesman, all the good people were busy being good,so poor kids they got me beacuse i know their pain and shame and eternal hurt. you dont if you did you would have kept quiet instead of proving that you are as self righteous and judgemental as the experts and the professionals who dont give a damn. try to feel with your heart feel feel feel the tears of the victims. we are so many good god why do
you block yourself from our tears. because you want correct behaviour?? how sick. we are broken and battered and smashed and you want me to play nice. why?????you play nice you dont have this mountain on your head, go ahead teach me how nice you are

amanada wife of the lovely rav elkohen is one of the beautiful people unlike me, accepted by the other lovely stoned out of their tiny little minds, wife swopping , free and easy hippie,carlebach, mixture crowd where i am not welcome of course. she has plenty of supporters cheering her on while i am out in the cold, with the children and the local israelis, but of course you dont view t hem either as matching up to your high standards of correct goy behaviour. when society makes a person a reject like me from my family to now, you reap the whirlwind of our fury ,. wait till these kids are a few years older. they will come after people just like you in denial and demand why why why why why. and what will you say mr know it all. what.

why do you self righteous fools want victims to be coherent. even if they were you would find another escuse to blame them right. you are too pretty or too ugly too fat or to thin. no wonder it happened to you. people like elkohen who did not go throught have no right to talk. i am the expert here . come and talk to me face to face and i will show you the evidence i have. i can be perfectly calm when you are not mocking me. how dare you find reason to deny the truth. its not about knowledge, its about heart. you either have heart or you dont. if you have heart you want to know you want info. if your heart is a stone you wont listen or look at any evidence. and you want coherent. spit and spit.

I think all of you people below should shut the hell up and not judge any parent unless you know what is going on yourself. I also have had firsthand eperience with the ineffectiveness of Jerusalem police in dealing with criminals so I wouldn’t be surprised if eveyrything is true.

the judge agrees with me and i have the court documents to proof this that the children were drugged and we know who made the drugs. ok get over yourself self righteous natan 79. they gave drugs to confuse the children and before you open your mouth to make funny noises, i too was given the drugs before zalman cohen did some brainwashing technique and raped me. now unlike the kids i can defend myself and if you are stupid enough to mock what i wrote, i will take you to court, and win. the judge agrees wi th me that this happened to me and any professional who will talk to me and give evidence will agree as the trauma is very clear to see. drugs, confusion. ok simple enough even for your high holiness. get the hell over yourself.

natan shut up and stop being such a smart idiot. date rape drugs. i did mention that. where you cant move, frozen physically and cant remember a single detail. its all over the media all the time. surely you even you have heard about this, good god israel made some thing you put in your drink the other day, that shows if the drug is in your drink. the date rape drug. now natan you can mock me , i am big enough to fight back. when you are giving this drug to babies and little kids and at the same time brainwashing them, you get confusion. which is what they want so that there will be no witnesses. if the damn fucking judge would stop hiding the videos of the movies made , we would not be having this discussion,. i refuse to go onto the kiddie porn sites to find them there. i cannot look at that trash.

unlike most of my neighbours i do not drink, do not take drugs, and am totally sane. this is a fact that can be checked with any medical doctor and anyone looking up the dirt on my entire life can not find this as it does not exist. no drugs, no drinking, no little green men.

also i am blessed with the brain and mind of a great rav who actually helped the poor and the oppressed, for a change, the rav harif. so i dont want praise god forbid, but dont slander me. you can say anything you like about me if it is true.

my shmuel says i can drive elephants mad so i bought a little hat with elephants on it to celebrate, cos its true. amen.

One must consider the context of the accusations. Haredi communities seek insularity. Is this a blind for for bad people to enter and operate – probably. The segregation of children, men and women, sexual repression and distrust of “outsiders” is a contributing factor to many crimes and misdeanors that the Haredi choose to cover-up. Could this be true? Of course it could – but it could also be a hideous witch hunt for reasons best known in the community itself. The belief that “this does not happen in ultra religious” communties is crap. A person whom I knew casually in my area was indeed a pedophile – a rabbi – always with a trail of sweet bar mitzvah boys in tow. Who would have thought? I am an outsider and came to see religious groups of kids and men as pro forma.

i went to talk to a rabbi here in our area up to his ears protecting the perverts and told him i will be coming with the tv cameras to ask them all why they are trampling on the blood of the children and to do hesbon nefesh quick. he was turning all shades of green.but the huge bucks he has put in his pocket and thank god we have a number of witnesses to that fact, now the huge bucks dont seem so sweet to him

. this is not idle words. i have been on tv here exposing them along with others. last year with a few other mothers, there was a fantastic news show last year on channel 10 with 4 mothers, two hid thier faces,both brave fighters for the kids from the haradi world,another local mother who was just magnificent telling skippy to leave our area very soft and sweetly, gorgeous,

me , some children and one father. it was very well put together. it came about because i put up a picture, the only one on my wall where i was putting up newspaper clippings, in hebrew and english for those who dont have acess to the papers in their tiny closed haradi world. many stopped to read the news.

i make up posters with stickers and its called angel news. so the poster said ANGEL NEWS PRESENTS – MONDROWITZ NO LONGER PROTECTED with his photo of him handcuffed and led by a police man.

the next morning by chance i was not out at work and my friend came over and from my kitchen window we saw our politician, orlev come with a big group of eager hungry young reporters to read my notices about mondrowitz my neighbour.

we went out to talk to some of the reporters adn this is how this show then came about. later the same arutz 10 put up a report that none of us here were connected to about why is a pedophile teaching sport in a school in the sharon area and the picture was skippy in his blue jacket and i was screaming with joy as i was cooking the supper.

they found him on their own , either through the police who hate him, super hate him as they tell me, or they are following these worms. it was a great day in jerusalem . there was another programme on tv2 that i have never seen.

i am not anti haradi i am anti corruption and lies, and people who manipulate the crowds to their ends. i have sympathy for the stupid crowds as the ones in power have great ability to control the fools. still we have to help the weak, the foolish, the idiots, the mentally sick and the the others despite the fact that if they used their brains and minds they would be able to help themselves. but it does not work that way. there has to be a leader to shine the light in the darkness. come and help us to shine the light. dont block the light natan, help the light to shine.

every time you reveal some hidden lies you open up the light of hashem which destroys more lies. that is how we win. the power of blackness is weak, based on arrogance and corruption. the power of light is eternal, powerful and never breaks. it is straight from hashem

it is available to all who will just jump in and say hashem send me light open my eyes, i want to see.

Second century Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai, one of Judaism’s very greatest rabbis and a creator of Kabbalah, sanctioned pedophilia—permitting molestation of baby girls even younger than three! He proclaimed,

“A proselyte who is under the age of three years and a day is permitted to marry a priest.” 1

Has Rabbi ben Yohai, child rape advocate, been disowned by modern Jews? Hardly. Today, in ben Yohai’s hometown of Meron, Israel, tens of thousands of
orthodox and ultra-orthodox Jews gather annually for days and nights of singing
and dancing in his memory.

References to pedophilia abound in the Talmud. They occupy considerable sections of Treatises Kethuboth and Yebamoth and are enthusiastically endorsed by the Talmud’s definitive legal work, Treatise Sanhedrin.

The Pharisees Endorsed Child Sex

The rabbis of the Talmud are notorious for their legal hairsplitting, and quibbling debates. But they share rare agreement about their right to molest three year old girls. In contrast to many hotly debated issues, hardly a hint of dissent rises against the prevailing opinion (expressed in many clear passages) that pedophilia is not only normal but scriptural as well!

It’s as if the rabbis have found an exalted truth whose majesty silences
debate.

Because the Talmudic authorities who sanction pedophilia are so renowned, and because pedophilia as “halakah” is so explicitly emphasized, not even the translators of the Soncino edition of the Talmud (1936) dared insert a footnote suggesting the slightest criticism. They only comment:

“Marriage, of course, was then at a far earlier age than now.” 3

In fact, footnote 5 to Sanhedrin 60b rejects the right of a Talmudic rabbi to disagree with ben Yohai’s endorsement of pedophilia:

“How could they [the rabbis], contrary to the opinion of R. Simeon ben Yohai, which has scriptural support, forbid the marriage of the young proselyte?” 4

1 Yebamoth 60b, p. 402.

2 Yebamoth 60b, p. 403.

3 Sanhedrin 76a.

4 In Yebamoth 60b, p. 404, Rabbi Zera disagrees that sex with girls under three
years and one day should be endorsed as halakah.

I have heard all the arguments from rabbis who claim, “you are taking it out of context”! “You don’t realize, the sages are discussing dowries”!

“When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (three years and a day) it is as if one put the finger into the eye.” The footnote says that as “tears come to the eye again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.” Kethuboth 11b.

Sex with a “Minor” Permitted

What exactly did these sages say?

The Pharisees justified child rape by explaining that a boy of nine years was not a “man” Thus they exempted him from God’s Mosaic Law:

“You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination”
(Leviticus. 18:22)

One passage in the Talmud gives permission for a woman who molested her young
son to marry a high priest. It concludes,

“All agree that the (sexual) connection of a boy aged nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not.” Sanhedrin 69b 5

Because a boy under 9 is sexually immature, he can’t “throw guilt” on the active offender, morally or legally. 6

“…the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act.” 7

The Talmud also says,

“A male aged nine years and a day who cohabits with his deceased brother’s wife acquires her (as wife).”8

Clearly, the Talmud teaches that a woman is permitted to marry and have sex with a nine year old boy.

Its not Nazis or anti-Semites who are raping your children, but Jews who have been poisoned by that SEWER, The Babylonian Talmud, which most Jews are ignorant of. But ignorance will not keep your children safe from these perverted Jews.

guilty guilty guilty you disgusting wicked man. that is it. now this is going to go public and all false judiasm is going to be smashed into powder. only those who serve hashem with a honest heart will be left standing and there are many here in israel like that.

OK, now I see you are really nuts. You just endorsed a classic discredited anti-Semitic libel taken straight from an anti-Semitic website. I’m sure it will do wonders for your legal case. Please get help for yourself.

In Exodus32:7-11 we learn that the God of Israel wanted to destroy the Israelites! WHY? The Jewish scribes have attempted to hide the dastardly deed, but Amos 5:25-27 gives us a hint. The Prophets of Israel speak about offering sacrifices to Moloch and we read that Solomon did this in 1 Kings 11:1-11, but we must go to the Babylonian Talmud to get the facts to the case:

MISHNAH.
HE WHO GIVES OF HIS SEED TO MOLECH INCURS NO PUNISHMENT UNLESS HE DELIVERS IT TO MOLECH AND CAUSES IT TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE. IF HE GAVE IT TO MOLECH BUT DID NOT CAUSE IT TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, OR THE REVERSE, HE INCURS NO PENALTY, UNLESS HE DOES BOTH.

Following the Mishnah is a discussion among the sages. One of the Talmud Sages, Rabbi Ashi, comments as follows:

GEMARA. R. Ashi propounded:
What if one caused his blind or sleeping son to pass through, (3) or if he caused his grandson by his son or daughter to pass through? — One at least of these you may solve. For it has been taught: [Any men … that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall he put to death … And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people;] because he hath given of his seed unto Molech. Why is this stated? — Because it is said, there shall not
be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire. From this I know it only of his son or daughter. Whence do I know that it applies to his son’s son or daughter’s son too? From the verse, [And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man] when he giveth of his seed unto Molech [and kill him not: Then I will … cut him off.]

There it is for ALL to see. The Golden Calf, that Hollywood pretended was a statue of a calf, was in fact Moloch. This idol had indeed a calf’s head, but its body was a FURNACE into which the HUMAN SACRIFICES were put. The Israelites created the FIRST HOLOCAUST and there were no Nazis in sight. Jews have been abusing THEIR children for thousands of years. If it’s not offering them as HUMAN SACRIFICES to Moloch, then its SEXUALLY RAPING & BUGGERING THEM:

I have sent the editor hundreds of cases of Jewish perverts & that is only the tip of the iceberg. Rabbi Gil Student attempted to challenge my facts, but he ran for cover.

Statement on Sexual Abuse of Children

By Rabbi Zev. M. Shandalov

May 22, 2006

Over the past few days, there have been a number of
items that have been printed in the mainstream press and in the
“Jewish” press regarding stories of sexual abuse of children and
alleged cover-up of said abuse and the perpetrators. The purpose of this email is to address this situation.

Abuse: I am not going to discuss any of the allegations in the articles or those that are floating around on the Internet. I do wish though to comment in general terms.

ANY abuse perpetrated against a child no matter how “minor” or seemingly “insignificant” can be damaging for life for the child; is illegal; is assur (prohibited by Torah law) and can potentially be actionable in a court of law. In addition, anyone seeking to protect the abuser, including but not limited to rabbis, professionals, community leaders, institutions, etc. are themselves culpable in the crimes that the alleged perpetrator commits after discovering the crimes and seeking to cover them up. The covering up of such
offenses not only is in itself a Chillul Hashem (a profanation of the name of Hashem) but also adds to the abuse of the victims after the fact. Delivering information to the police in order to remove the offender from the streets and to protect further abuse is a Mitzva incumbent upon all who have knowledge of abuse. Additionally, the Mitzvah of “Al ta’amod al dam re’acha” (One may not stand idly by while another is being injured) is found in the Torah to make it everyone’s responsibility to help another in jeopardy.

I hope that this has helped to clarify a very disturbing issue. WE MAY NOT REMAIN SILENT WHEN ANYONE IS BEING ABUSED AND
CERTAINLY NOT WHEN THE PERSON BEING ABUSED IS A CHILD!

You might want to bury your head in the sand, but Jewish mothers AT LAST can stand up to those PERVERT RABBIS who endorse PEDOPHILIA.

i dont know who you are, you probably live here. but i must tell you that your words are such a healing to me i cant even find words to express. it makes sense . you are giving me the answers i have searched for all my life, .why why why. absolutely you are right. we the jews have brought this filth into the world no wonder we are constantly hated. hashem will not let us be in peace when we are the ones who had to be the light of the world and we are the ones bringing blackness. i will never again blame a arab for his hatred for us. ever.

this rabbi shandalov where does he live. will he give me letters to take to the court next week to show the judge, who is a arab god bless him. i always have respect and luck with arabs, the jews just mock me as you see here all the holy ones lynching me with their insane cruel demands.

i wrote a song about nice victim
be a nice victim
shut up
be a good victim
go away
be a sugar and spice victim
leave us alone
be a true victim
shut up

yes that is how society listens to us, with all their lies and lies and lies and programmes to talk. they dont listen they try to brainwash us into stupidity and submissiveness. the world is on fire because so many like me are getting their revenge on those who did not hear our screams in the night. we will destroy the world from our fury and pain and anger. that is why earthquakes happen, we are cursing all you cold hearted fools who reject our valid complaints.

so to pip for me this is so so so huge. you know the children love me because they see that i listen to them. they gather around when i bring the latest court details to hear my story, what happened how skippy cried like a baby in court, they are shocked this monster who put the fear of hell into them he cried. they hang on to the words as i paint the picture. the mothers are so grateful that i am for them.

i am no angel hell no, thank god no. but the victims love and appreciate and value that i am insane enough to fight for them. for me one word of one child is enough proof. i dont need to destroy them with cruel question, i see the fear in their eyes and i see me in their eyes. i see my fear and my tears and my pain and my confusion. i dont need more than that. because it never heals and it never goes away and i was not even a victgim of pedophiles. no i was just the abused, beaten up kid going to school full of belt marks black and blue, made up the lie i fell down the stairs, raped 4 times and went through so much humilation and shame all my life . i know how they feel and seeing as most victims of pedophiles can never find the power to speak out ever, they have to settle for me.

not only pip, will we mothers, stand up we will destroy totally all those protecting these perverts. as a result of the warning we gave to the public of the health and holistic conference a few weeks ago here, where fake doc viv damelin organised. the judge agrees with us that she is a fake, is dangerous to the public , we can continue to warn others about her and her pal zalman cohen not debatable he is in jail. for raping women and children. and the judge put in my other sentance in the trail where i said that damelin is the one who gives and makes the date rape drugs used here to confuse.

so once we can prove that date rape drugs are used the rest of you cowards and liars can shut the hell up. it happened. and dont come running over to visit the kids when you see the light. they will vomit you out. they are not stupid. they know you mock them and make them guilty to cover your own stupidity and laziness. anyone could have found out what i did if they wanted too.

May God give you & the mothers of Israel the strength to stand up against these perverts. I, like you, have been called every name in the book, but like David of old, I stand against Monsters with my sling (pen) & with the power of God, I will kill these Monsters with TRUTH.

This is a truth that is also hidden from the Jewish people:

WHO MASTERMINDED THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST?

A Jew in America made this comment:

“The answer is so simple. They are US Jews. Their parents and grand parents like them before voted for Roosevelt even though he
closed the doors of escape to Jews who later went up in smoke as a result. US Jews in their country club they call Jewish centers are all in name only. They make me sick! This ex- Democrat will vote to replace anti- Semite Obama. By the way I left my over 3 decades party when I discovered that it was infected with the anti- Semitic virus. The enormous scream of “NO!” for the Jewish capital in
Jerusalem was truly horribly a proof of what I discovered”.

I reply:

NO! NO! NO!

The people who closed the doors of escape to OLD-SICK-YOUNG POLISH Jews who later went up in smoke as a result, were ZIONISTS JEWS!

The Zionists FEARED that these Jews would swarm into Palestine & destroy their Zionist Experiment. They also didn’t want them getting out of Europe. Then they got Rabbi Wise & CO to boycott Germany
& that turned the German people against the Jews who couldn’t escape.

This Plot was masterminded by Zionist Jews & carried out by demonic German Nazis & Marrano Nazi Jews.

THE JEWISH BRAINS BEHIND THE HOLOCAUST

THEODOR HERZL, THE FOUNDER OF ZIONISM

The term “Zionism” was first introduced in 1893 by Nathan Birmbaum, but Theodor Herzl, an Austrian Jew born to a prosperous, emancipated Budapest family, is recognized as the founder of the Zionist ideology when he published his book in 1896, “The Jewish State”, where he declared that the cure for Anti-Semitism was the establishment of a Jewish state. As he saw it, the best place to establish this state was in Palestine.

While Herzl claimed that the establishment of a “Jewish” state would cure Anti-Semitism, he also promoted Anti-Semitism to further his cause.

Herzl stated in his diary:

“It is essential that the sufferings of Jews.. . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . .
The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-Semites shall be our best friends”. (From his Diary, Part I, pp. 16)

Benny Morris (the Israeli Historian), described how Herzl foresaw how Anti-Semitism could be “HARNESSED” for the realization of Zionism. He stated:

“Herzl regarded Zionism’s triumph as inevitable, not only because life in Europe was ever more untenable for Jews, but also
because it was in Europe’s interests to rid the Jews and relieved of
Anti-Semitism: The European political establishment would eventually be persuaded to promote Zionism. Herzl recognized that Anti-Semitism would be HARNESSED to his own–Zionist-purposes.” (Righteous Victims, p. 21

Just like it was in Exodus 32, it was Jews who Masterminded the last Holocaust & got the priests of Moloch (Nazis) to do the dirty deed.

Zionists & Nazis worked in tandem to destroy the Jews from Poland, because most if not all German “Enlightened” Jews had bought their way to freedom.

thank you pip, you should come over and help me with my book, we could co author it, you with your stories and me with mine. seems you have powerful info that i dont have that needs to be included. i am taking your info the judge this week its very powerful, he is a arab so he will enjoy having the power to expose the corrupt rabbinim even more than me.

As thousands of supporters of a Brooklyn man accused of
being a child molester attended a fund-raiser for his legal defense Wednesday night, a group of about 100 people supporting the young woman who alleged that he sexually assaulted her rallied outside.

It was a scene of anger and division over the issue of child
sexual abuse that residents of the insular neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said they had never before seen. In
front of the Continental catering hall on Rutledge Street, where the
fund-raiser was being held, a tightly packed crowd of Hasidic men who supported the accused man, Nechemya Weberman, stood and stared down the young woman’s supporters, who stood behind police barricades. “Protect victims, not abusers,” their signs said.

“I’m here to support the young girl, the victim, who has been vilified and dragged through the mud,” said Robert H. Hoatson, a former
Catholic priest who stood with ultra-Orthodox supporters of the girl, other victims of child sexual abuse and their advocates.

At about 8 p.m., a Hasidic man from the fund-raiser rushed
the protesters’ barricades. The police grabbed him, put him in handcuffs and led him away.

Two women who supported Mr. Weberman said that he was a good
man, and that they did not believe he was capable of sexual abuse. They called the girl a liar and got into a dispute with Pearl Engelman, a victims’ advocate who was at the protest.

“How do you know he is innocent?” Mrs. Engelman asked.
“Because you know him? That is proof?”

Members of the ultra-Orthodox community who report abuse
cases to the police — rather than allowing rabbinical authorities to handle the matters — regularly face harassment, and it is not unusual for ultra-Orthodox synagogues in the New York area to take up collections for the defense of those accused.

The fund-raiser was held to support Mr. Weberman, 53, an
unlicensed therapist who has been indicted on charges that he sexually assaulted a girl, starting when she was 12, during sessions intended to promote her religious practice. His trial is set to begin as early as June.

Ultra-Orthodox Men Charged With Trying to Silence Accuser

By Sharon Otterman

New York Times – June 21, 2012

The Brooklyn district attorney, facing a wave of public
criticism about his handling of sexual abuse allegations in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, on Thursday charged four men with attempting to silence an accuser by offering her and her boyfriend a $500,000 bribe, and threatening her boyfriend’s business.

The district attorney, Charles J. Hynes, alleged that the men were part of an effort to protect a prominent member of the Satmar Hasidic community, Nechemya Weberman, who has been accused of 88 counts of sexual misconduct, including oral sex with a child younger than 13 years old. The charges all involve one girl, now 17, who was referred by her school to get counseling by Mr. Weberman, and then alleged she was abused by him during therapy sessions.

The charges are the first time in at least two decades that Mr. Hynes has charged Hasidic Jews with intimidation of a witness in a sexual
abuse case, even though victims, their advocates and prosecutors say intimidation has long been a major obstacle to prosecution of abuse among the ultra-Orthodox. In recent weeks, Mr. Hynes has been saying that the intimidation of witnesses in the ultra-Orthodox community is worse than in the world of organized crime.

“I’m hoping that this will be a message to those who are
intimidated that they should come forward and help us,” Mr. Hynes said at a news conference. “No one can engage in this kind of conduct and feel free that, based on prior experience, nothing can happen to them.”

Prosecutors charged Abraham Rubin, 48, of Williamsburg with bribery, witness tampering and coercion. They said that he had been recorded offering the accuser’s boyfriend the money, and he suggested that the young couple could flee to Israel to avoid
testifying. He also offered to provide them with a lawyer who could help them avoid cooperating with prosecutors.

Prosecutors also charged three brothers, Jacob, Joseph and
Hertzka Berger, with coercion, saying they threatened and then removed the kosher certification of a restaurant run by the accuser’s boyfriend. The brothers are sons of a local rabbi who issues kosher certifications to stores.

The four men pleaded not guilty on Thursday in a Brooklyn courtroom packed with benches full of their supporters, dressed in the dark clothing worn by Hasidic men.

Hertzka Berger’s lawyer, Bruce Wenger, said after the arraignment that the four men “all deny the allegations.”

“They are all obviously going to be fighting these cases
vehemently,” he said. “They are looking forward to their day in court.”

But a prosecutor, Josh Hanshaft, said the men had been
“telling witnesses to forget what they know, not to come to court, to disappear,” and said prosecutors had “clear, substantial evidence” that part of the plan to silence witnesses involved offering money to dissuade their testimony.

If convicted, Mr. Rubin faces up to seven years in prison.
Joseph and Hertzka Berger each face a year in jail, and Jacob Berger faces up to four years.

Mr. Weberman has denied the abuse allegations, and his
lawyer, George Farkas, said Mr. Weberman knew nothing of the alleged intimidation.

“Mr. Weberman, and his attorneys, are appalled by these
allegations, which if true, are reprehensible,” Mr. Farkas said. The
intimidation charges, a moment of triumph for Mr. Hynes, come as his office has been criticized by victims, victims’ advocates, former Mayor Ed Koch and others for an insufficiently aggressive response to the sexual abuse of minors within the ultra-Orthodox community.

And this week, Mr. Hynes’s office is suffering an embarrassing reversal in another abuse case involving an Orthodox Jewish
accuser. After revelations that Mr. Hynes’s office had failed to share
exculpatory evidence with defense attorneys, lawyers said Monday that all charges against four men accused of raping and forcibly prostituting a Chabad Lubavitch woman from Crown
Heights for nearly a decade would be dropped.

In the Williamsburg case, the accuser was in sixth grade when she was referred to Mr. Weberman, an unlicensed therapist, by her Williamsburg religious school, a close family member said in an interview last month. Her parents were told she would be expelled from school unless they paid $150 an hour for him to provide her with therapy.

Instead, Mr. Weberman, who is now 53, repeatedly sexually
molested her over three years, when she was 12 to 15, and told her that she would be expelled from school if she told anyone, the relative said. The girl then changed schools and told a licensed therapist what had happened. The therapist reported the girl’s allegations to the police.

After Mr. Weberman’s arrest in 2011, a campaign of
intimidation is alleged to have begun against the accuser, her boyfriend and her family members. Prominent Hasidic Jews publicly proclaimed their support for Mr. Weberman, and, on May 16, hosted hundreds of Hasidic men at a local wedding hall to raise money for Mr. Weberman’s legal defense. To promote the fund-raiser, his supporters hung posters on lampposts and brick walls around
the neighborhood, accusing the young woman, in Yiddish, of libel.

The girl’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Hershy Deutsch, organized
a demonstration outside the fund-raiser. In an interview at the time, he said that he had faced intimidation because of his girlfriend’s allegations, and that he had decided to speak out. He said that a restaurant he manages in Williamsburg, the Old Williamsburg Cafe on Lee Avenue, was targeted by a flood of false complaints to city authorities in late April.
And, he said, men from the neighborhood had offered him $500,000 if he could persuade the girl to drop her case.

“For those of you questioning the credibility of the victim’s story,” Mr. Deutsch wrote in a letter he posted on his Facebook page, “ask yourself the following question: Would a non-guilty person offer someone a half a million dollars if they drop the charges?”

“Speak up!” he wrote. “Face the facts, our community has been covering up these stories for way too long. We have to put an end to this!”

On Thursday afternoon a metal gate was rolled down over the
entrance to the Old Williamsburg Cafe, and a sign taped to the door said that the store “will be closed until further notice.”

Victims’ advocates said Thursday that they were glad that
Mr. Hynes had brought an intimidation case, and hoped it would begin to ease the problem. While some ultra-Orthodox rabbis now say that a child molester should be reported to the police, others strictly adhere to an ancient Jewish prohibition against mesirah, the turning in of a Jew to non-Jewish authorities, and instruct victims to either remain silent or let rabbinical authorities quietly handle the allegations.

“This is a big threshold,” said Mark Appel, the founder of
Voice of Justice, a nonprofit agency that helps ultra-Orthodox victims. And Joel Engelman, the founder of the Jewish Survivors Network, also praised Mr. Hynes for bringing the intimidation case, because, he said, “in the Williamsburg Hasidic community, intimidation is rampant.”

17-year-old claims he showed her porn, then made her reenact the sex acts during their closed-door molestation sessions

The alleged teenage victim of Satmar Hasidic leader Nechemya
Weberman testified Friday that he showed her pornography and then made her reenact the sex acts during their closed-door molestation sessions.

I had to “copy what was in the porn,” the beautiful blond
17-year-old testified in Brooklyn Supreme Court. “I remember it happening a lot.”

During her fourth grueling day on the stand, the teen detailed why she hid her torment, which allegedly lasted for three years, beginning in 2007 when she was 12.

“Everybody respected him, he was a leader,” she said of Weberman, 54, whom she described as a member of the powerful modesty committee, which enforces the morality rules of the insular sect.

She never broke down on the stand, even when confronted with
intimate details of her tumultuous early teens.

“I’m so happy that it’s over for now,” one of her close friends said outside court. “She’s a hero.”

Testimony by the recently married teenager was the key evidence in the high-stakes trial that has been marked by incidents of purported intimidation.

Three ultra-Orthodox men were arraigned Friday evening after
they allegedly took photos inside the courtroom earlier this week — including one of the teen on the stand — and posted them on the Internet. Lemon Juice,
Joseph Fried and Yona Weisman were charged with contempt of court. Juice had legally changed his name from Joel Weingarten, according to his friends, though it was unclear why.

Juice’s lawyer, Leopold Gross, insisted his client was actually a supporter of the teen — though his motivations remained a mystery.

All three were held on $5,000 bond. A friend of theirs, Moses Klein, pledged to bail out the alleged scuzzy shutterbugs.

A fourth man initially thought to have taken pictures was not charged due to lack of evidence.

In another bizarre twist, Fried, who runs a news service for
the Satmar community, had been secretly recorded arguing with the alleged victim’s now-husband a few months ago.

“Even if it’s true, he shouldn’t go to jail,” Fried is heard saying of Weberman, according to the recording obtained by the Daily News and translated from Yiddish. “A Jew doesn’t belong in jail.”

The contentious conversation came after three men stripped a
kosher certificate from the husband’s restaurant, leading to harassment charges against them.

Another Hasid was accused of offering the couple $500,000 in
hush money to make the case go away.

Ruth, this is a powerful website by a former Orthodox Jew & he has been exposing these perverts since 2004. Tell all your friends about him & support him.

“Vorst is by all accounts I’ve heard over the past five years or so a terrible person.

She deserves to be prosecuted for fraud and extortion – not beaten for being something she is not”.

Haredi Modesty Patrol Beats Elderly Haredi Woman

A 70-year-old ultra-Orthodox woman found herself the target of a brutal religious hate crime on Monday night, when four thugs broke into her home and beat her up before leaving her handcuffed and bleeding. The thugs hit her repeatedly with a metal rod, breaking her right hand, crushing her left leg and injuring her face. They used their cell phones to document the attack, evidently to report back to those who sent them.

A 70-year-old ultra-Orthodox woman found herself the target of a brutal religious hate crime on Monday night, when four thugs broke into her home and beat her up before leaving her handcuffed and bleeding.

“They were sent by the Modesty Patrol,” the woman, S., told Yedioth Ahronoth. “They told me, ‘You are destroying the neighborhood with you missionary teachings.”

The thugs hit her repeatedly with a metal rod, breaking her right hand, crushing her left leg and injuring her face. They used their cell phones to document the attack, evidently to report back to those who sent them.

Jerusalem police investigators confirmed that the attack was religiously-motivated.

“It’s clear that this wasn’t a robbery,” a source close to the investigation said. “The suspects didn’t come to the apartment to steal property, but to send a message.”

S. made aliyah from the United States two decades ago. She has two sons, one of whom resides in Israel, while the other lives in the US. On Sunday, she was supposed to travel to the US to attend her grandson’s Brit Milah. Instead, she was hospitalized at the Hadassah-Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem.

Over the past eight years, S. has been living alone at a primarily haredi area of Jerusalem’s Nachlaot neighborhood, and has been teaching women who wish to convert to Judaism.

“They thought that I’m a missionary because I teach non-Jewish women,” S. said

‘You have bad influence on neighborhood’

On Monday night, a haredi man claiming to be a beggar came to her door and asked for spare change. Less than a minute after he left, she heard another knock on her door. This time, four masked men in gloves forced their way in, cuffed her and searched her home.

“They yelled, where are the video tapes, where’s the computer,” S. recalled. They didn’t find any tapes, but took her laptop and her cell phone, and left.

S. managed to get up and get help, but when she stepped outside she realized the nightmare wasn’t over. The assailants were still in the yard; they forced her back into her home and brutalized her.

“They yelled, you have a bad influence on our neighborhood,” she said. “I knew there were rumors in the neighborhood that I’m a missionary, because they see non-Jewish women entering my home, but I’m only helping them convert to Judaism.

When they finally left again, the neighbors called emergency services, and informed her son, who reiterated the suspicion that his mother was targeted by the Modesty Patrol.

The haredi extremist group is known for violently targeting religious individuals who act in a way they deem unworthy of the ultra-Orthodox world.

The police launched an investigation but has yet to apprehend suspects.

The woman is Sarah Vorst. She runs a conversion institute for women, Ohel Sarah Imeinu, closely linked to Rabbi Nochum Eisenstein, the haredi rabbi who helped Rabbi leib Tropper take over the conversion business in North America and who is Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv’s point man on conversion.

Eisenstein specializes in telling converts that the Orthodox conversion they had is not really valid.

Ohel Sarah Imeinu strings potential converts on for what can be years, making them pay for life coaching classes and refusing to accept knowledge they’ve gained elsewhere as valid – even if that knowledge is 100% correct under haredi standards.

Vorst is herself a convert.

The suspicion she is a missionary was probably created by Nachlaot residents – I can think of one in particular – who is upset with her for her mistreatment of students and for what she believes to be Vorst’s role in protecting and enabling Nachlaot’s alleged pedophile ring.

Police have done a slow, plodding and often terrible job dealing with that alleged pedophile ring, as have prosecutors.

But neither can afford to let this type of vigilante justice take place – especially when the basis for that street justice is almost certainly false.

Vorst is by all accounts I’ve heard over the past five years or so a terrible person.

She deserves to be prosecuted for fraud and extortion – not beaten for being something she is not.

bo and natan,lets shut this down right now. failed messiah used to live here he was a short little man so they tell me . that is enough for you to figure it out. short men love to have big power to make up for what th ey lack. no president of america has ever been short. ok . get over it.

he does not live here now. he has not a clue about what he talks. i live here and so do others who are warning and speaking out. if you are here come on over and lets do the tour of the area.

the fool is doing so much damage by denying something that is not about his ego but about children.. he could have come over and checked it out himself instead of sitting on his throne playing god.

i am going to take legal actions against all those in the medai who slandered me when i win the court case we are busy with now. once i have a judge agree with me. you folks are going to eat a lot of humble pie or pay big bucks for the insults. the judge already agrees that we are right to warn the public, that damelin is a fake doctor and supplies the date rape drug. should you not shut up now. the court records are posted up on the page of leah amdur .

dont let the facts hit you in head while you are mocking so much. you have been warned. enough of the insults.

its too late. i told you to contact me, why dont you listen. now you cant reach me on my pelephone any more, why dont you listen??? if you are in jerusalem meet me at the shuik. for a cup of coffee.urgently.

my legal case is going very well. we just served papers on the lawyer of the fake doc damelin who supplies the date rape drug and the judge agrees with us. first time we have a judge who does not hate children and take bribes to close his eyes. you were sa ying???

There are so many underlying issues to do with the haridi community behind this story, that are only hinted at in this report that should be mentioned when you talk about the Nahlaot pedophile “ring”.

The first fact is, that because of their extraordinarily large families, young haredi kids are often left to their own devices, or the care of their slightly older siblings. Only the other day I saw an eight year old haredi attempt to drag his six year old brother and
jaywalk across a busy Jerusalem road. Luckily a young woman stopped them and
sent them to a crossing. Such ‘almost’ tragedies occur often, and are not
always averted. Haredi (and arab) kids are disproportionally represented in
stats of injuries and deaths at home – just of the top of my head I can recall
2 haredi kids died after being abandoned in cars and a haredi kid that drowned
in a bathtub recently. The parents are too poor and/or busy to provide for the
adult supervision these kids need. This makes them a convenient target for
pedophiles on the one hand. On the other, the parents are unaware of what their
kids are really doing for several hours a day, which makes it hard to verfy the truth of their accusations.

The second fact is that haredis have a very low level of awareness about sexual abuse. Because sex is verboten, it is very hard to even discuss the matter. Only recently a sex education book in Hebrew aimed at tharedi kids has come out in the hope of fixing this – “better safe than sorry” by Ella bar Gai and Natai Melamedhttp://www.haaretz.co.il/news/education/1.1816108
Part of the reason the community panicked is that they have no tools to discuss the matter or how to deal with it. As a kid my parents would never have let me visit a male lone neighbor’s house unsupervised. i was warned several times from talking to strangers. the situation in which 30-40 kids visiting Katz’s apartment regularly is not feasible in a nonharedi community, regardless of his guilt or innocence.

The third fact is that the care of the mentally handicapped in the Haredi community is basic, at best. Haredis are suspicious of the psychiatric institution and are more likely to go to a rabbi than a doctor to treat their disturbed family members. Some of them give their family members strong psychiatric drugs, but do not comprehend that without behavioral therapy, the efficiency of the drugs is limited. These men are left to be “the neighborhood’s meshuggah”, and are therefore untreated. some of
them may be pedophiles, some of them may only be harming themselves- but with
little care and follow up treatment we will never know which of the two they are. I am
saying this out of my own personal experience with a brother suffering from
OCD- if my parents weren’t educated he probably wouldn’t have got the excellent
care that kept him out of hospitalization and/or living on the fringes of society.

All these facts will ensure that such cases will probably repeat themselves, unless Haredi’s will start thinking about the toll their ideology of isolation and poverty is taking on them

How prejudice! The Hareidi community which you so clearly despise is at the fore when it comes to many social welfare initiatives. Especially in the field of mental health. As a mental health professional who has seen first hand the beautiful work these people do, I must stress the ignorance of that part of your comment.

Really? what “Gemach” do you know is there to help the mentally ill? There are a few psychologists that are approved by the rabbi’s, but there is more demand than supply in the area. Tell that to my Bobover cousin, who has ADHD and yet his familly insisted futilely to send him to yeshiva for years even though he coudn’t concentrate enough to study gemarah, thus making him feel like a stupid blockhead. Or maybe you should tell that to my Vizhnitzer cousin, who had a nervous breakdown on his wedding night about 6 years ago, locked himself in the yehud room, breaking Britney Spears’ record of short marrages. Everybody treats him like damaged goods and he’s unlikley to ever marry again. Or maybe you should tell it to my haredi friend’s sister, who married a mentally ill man whose problem his family kept as a secret, only to be terrorised by him and become a get refusee? They will be so glad to know their community was there for them.I am not ignorant, it is you who are willfully blind.

meanachem i am almost 100percent positive it was you who came to interview me from america about the situation. i will have to check my emails . about a year ago. and you took tons of photos of me with my cute brown hat with the flower outside my house, in the alley, in the garden. so at least give me my photos if you intend to disregard my testimony. how can you be so cruel? dont bother coming now, tomorrow the israeli media is coming and they never insulted me like you did . you cant pay enough money to get an interview from me ever again. and i did the first one for free just to get the info out .shame on you . give me back my photos. you took them under false pretenses. damn you folks who cover us just how brilliant you are. on the heads of the babies you show you are heartless. being clinic and cold and clever with words still makes you a cold hearted monster. shame on you.,with all you know you mock the children. poor kids.

I hope by now you realize how evil these people are. These PERVERTS are in the highest positions in Israel or wherever Jews live. They protect each other. Its very hard to see EVIL, especially when it wears a suit or a wig. Educate your friends as to why things don’t happen. They murdered Rabin because of Oslo & were behind the Massacre in Norway.

MOSER (plural, Moserim):

An informer, denunciator, or delator; synonyms are “masor” (abstract, “mesirah”), “delator” (), and “malshin” (abstract, “malshinut”), from the last of which are derived the Portuguese “malsim,” and also the Spanish “malsin,” together with the adjective “malsinar” and the abstract nouns “malsindad” and “malsineria.” Nothing was more severely punished by the Jews than talebearing; and no one was held in greater contempt than the informer. On account of the fact that his deeds frequently caused mischief and even entailed death and destruction, the sages of the Talmud compared the “moser” to a serpent.In Talmudic Times.

The Jews suffered much during the persecutions under Hadrian through informers in their own ranks; especially teachers of the Law were betrayed by the delators. Simeon ben Yoḥai, having criticized the Roman government, was denounced; and he saved his life only by hasty flight. A certain Eleazar b. Simon is said to have denounced to the Romans Jews who were engaged in freebooting expeditions against them. According to Talmudic law, the delator was punished with death; and although in general the jurisdiction of the Jewish courts in criminal cases ceased with the destruction of the Jewish commonwealth, in the case of informers the penalty remained in force, those convicted being punished the more severely because they deliberately increased the danger which constantly threatened the people.In Spain.

There are frequent notices of denunciations among the Jews in countries under Arabic rule. A certain Ḥalfah ibn al-A’jab and his son Ḥayyim denounced Isaac Alfasi, who was thereupon obliged in 1088 to flee from his home in northern Africa and to seek refuge in Spain (Abraham ibn Daud, “Sefer ha-Ḳabbalah,” ed. Neubauer, p. 75). According to Maimonides (“Yad,” Ḥobel u-Maziḳ), in the cities of the West, i.e., of Morocco, conviction for delation was of daily occurrence, the offenders being declared outlaws and being delivered to non-Jews for the infliction of the death-penalty. Denunciations occurred just as frequently among the Jews of Spain, so that the word “malsin” wasadopted into the Spanish language (see above). The great Talmudist of Lucena, Joseph ibn Migas, caused an informer to be stoned before the close of a certain Day of Atonement which fell on a Sabbath (Judah b. Asher, “Zikron Yehudah,” p. 55b). Isaac b. Sheshet at the end of the fourteenth century could therefore assert that from olden times it had been law and custom in the Jewish communities of Aragon, Valencia, Catalonia, Castile, and Navarre to put informers out of the world; and even as late as 1432 the representatives of the Castilian communities could with truth allege in the statutes which they had drawn up that it was the custom throughout Israel to put to death one who at any time or any place dared to act the part of informer.Execution of an Informer.

In Barcelona a descendant of a wealthy and respected family who had lost his fortune turned informer. In vain was he warned and threatened with an informer’s death. He was probably favored by the authorities and encouraged to continue in his nefarious conduct; and he was not to be enticed from his chosen path. His own family wished to get rid of him, and insisted on his being prosecuted. Rabbi Jonah of Gerona (nephew of Jonah b. Abraham Gerondi) and Solomon ben Adret of Barcelona, because of the insistence of King Pedro III. of Aragon, found themselves forced to let justice take its course and to deliver the informer to the king. The latter ordered his execution, which took place in the year 1280 in the square before the Monjuich, the Jewish cemetery in Barcelona, the arteries of both arms being opened (Solomon ben Adret’s Responsa in “J. Q. R.” viii. 228).

Asher ben Jehiel pronounced the death-penalty upon an unknown man in Seville who had obtained the favor of some person of high degree and had maliciously accused certain coreligionists as well as whole congregations before the infanta D. Pedro, uncle and guardian of the young king Alfonso XI. (Asher ben Jehiel, Responsa, xvii. 1, 8). Just as little hesitation had Asher’s son, and with him the members of the Jewish tribunal at Toledo, Joseph ibn Crispin, Joseph ben Joseph ibn Naḥmias, and Moses ben Abraham ibn Naḥmias, in pronouncing the sentence of death upon the much-dreaded Joseph ben Samuel, who, on account of his denunciations, had already been condemned to death during the lifetime of Asher ben Jehiel, but upon whom the sentence had not been carried out on account of the king’s minority (Judah b. Asher, l.c. p. 55a).Regulations Against Informers.

In the statutes signed by the communities of Catalonia and Valencia Sept. 25, 1354, the extermination of informers was made a public duty, in the accomplishment of which every one was required to render his utmost assistance (“He-Ḥaluẓ,” i. 22 et seq.). This resolution was also adopted by the representative of the Jews of Majorca, where, as a result of the representations of the leader of the community, King Sancho in 1319 issued an order banishing forever from the island all Jews who were proved to be informers or disturbers of the peace (“Boletin Acad. Hist.” xxxvi. 133, 143). The Jewish community of Tudela, the largest in Navarre, in March, 1363, passed a resolution (which was renewed fifty years later for a further period of fifty years) to proceed against informers with all possible severity. Any person, whether Jew or Jewess, who should be convicted of being a calumniator of or informer against the congregation or any of its members was to be excommunicated in all the synagogues of the city for a period of fifty years, during which time he or she was not to be tolerated within the city. The informer was also to pay into the public treasury a fine of 1,000 gold maravedis (Kayserling, “Gesch. der Juden in Spanien,” i. 76 et seq., 206 et seq.). The execution of a death-sentence pronounced by a Jewish court could take place only with the king’s consent and through the royal alguazil (hangman).

The execution of Joseph Pichon (receiver-general of taxes, who was accused of being an informer), for which the sanction of King John I. of Castile had been obtained on his coronation-day, Aug. 21, 1379, was of incalculable importance for the Jews of Spain, and was the main reason why the Jews of Castile were deprived of jurisdiction in criminal cases. The measure passed in 1363, which remained in force for only a few decades, did not contribute much toward frightening informers. On the contrary, they multiplied to such an extent that in the statutes adopted at the meeting of communal representatives convened by the court rabbi Abraham Benveniste at Valladolid in May, 1432, a whole chapter was devoted to informers.Jurisdiction over Informers.

It was due to Benveniste, who stood in high favor with the then all-powerful Alvaro de Luna, that King John II. again conceded to the Jews the right to decide criminal cases. In the last-mentioned statutes it was stipulated that each case of talebearing through which a Jew or a Jewess might have suffered injury was to be punished with ten days’ imprisonment and a fine of 100 maravedis, if no Christian was present when the delation took place. The fine was to be doubled if the crime had been committed in the presence of a Christian. When one was convicted of informing, he was branded on the forehead with a red-hot iron; if he were convicted of treason three times on the testimony of two trustworthy witnesses, the court rabbi was required to bring about his execution at the hands of the royal alguazil. Did the informer escape, so that he could be neither killed nor branded, he was proclaimed in all places as a traitor, completely excommunicated from the community of Israel, and stigmatized as “blood-shedder” or “villain” (see the statute in “Jahrbuch für die Gesch. der Juden und des Judenthums,” iv. 307). In northern Africa, as in Castile, the law was visited upon informers in all its severity. Simon ben Ẓemaḥ Duran and his son Solomon passed sentence of death unhesitatingly upon moserim.In Germany.

Worse than in Spain were the conditions in German countries, where the governments protected the informers. The expulsion of the Jews from Augsburg, Nuremberg, and Ratisbon, and the persecutions in Posen, Frankfort-on-the-Main, and Wormsare traceable to informers. A certain Hirschel Meyer, through his denunciations, caused his coreligionists much trouble previous to their expulsion from Vienna in 1670.

The practise of giving malicious information lasted longest in Poland, where moserim, with the approval of the government, were punished by having the tongue or ears cut off. In Posen a Jewish informer is said to have been sentenced to death, in accordance with the verdict of a Jewish court, so late as the last decades of the eighteenth century (Perles, “Gesch. der Juden in Posen,” in “Monatsschrift,” xiv. 166). The informer who escaped punishment was excommunicated; and he then sought refuge in baptism. The number of those who, after baptism, appeared as accusers of their former coreligionists, and who, like Nicolaus Donin, Joshua al-Lorki, and Pfefferkorn, brought unspeakable suffering upon them, is very large.

i dont have time now to read all this info though i would love too. we spent all day going to court to sign papers and then go and deliver them to the lawyer of fake doc dameline.the same lawyer that owes my shmuel 9000 shekels from a case he did for him a few years ago. in court i told him i will make sure he remains only in his socks and the judge said nothing. apparenatly knows the bastard too. so today when we delivered the papers, my lawyer and i, i went in to give them to him and told him this week the cheque will be made out to shmuel for the full amount. another bastard bites the dust.

so i am very busy now getting information packages together for the media, they will be coming soon, i am waiting for one paper here who followed me last year and gave me great tips.

the most dangerous men in israel are protecting the perverts. the more i find out the more i know that every day i am alive is a miracle. when i went after skippy in the beginning a year ago , after he used me to help him with his front in the little garden we made together for montifore, i was so livid that i destroyed the garden and went after him. knowing nothing at all then. the information comes to all the time to me from everyone it pours in.then i said every day i have in this world is a gift as i was sure he would kill me with all his powerful contacts

then the journalist phoned me and said run to see the body of a dead pedophile near you, spielberg that was the first time i heard his name. then the info poured in and now i have a much better picture of how many are involved, but not all the names or info at all.

yes the danger is incredible. people are terrified. i am sure one of the reasons i am still alive is because i am with shmuel a irritable moroccan man who is known here for his hysterical outbursts who hates the si ght of skippy . skippy only fears him not god. so no one wants to mess with shmuel. he has a kind heart but you really dont want to cross him. the same fools who sit in kol rina bet knesset pulling up their noses at me, are sitting on the 3 sofas he donated to the idiots there. it always makes me smile inside.

so i dont know why hashem is protecting me and for how long it will last. therefore i spend every second i can organising all the info so that i will have records of all at least for others to continue this war on . i would like to give you some info as well. the more people i can trust that have the info the better. i dont trust many people at all . but with the info you have, obviously you have much more than you are putting out, you need to have this. i have some explosive stuff that will turn this city inside out.

one question who was the first pedophile in the torah. i am obsessed with roots, everything has a root, hebrew is made up of roots, who was the first pedopile, the murdered was cain, then onan spilled his seed on the ground, was he the first pervert.that was a perverted thing to do and its the word for self abuse in hebrew. is there someone else. later i am going to read all your info very slowly .

in the meantime my friend put up on my facebook wall some pictures of my garden here, very green, and cute and funny so for a break from all this heavy stuff go and have a look. i dont know if we get anywhere talking to people on sites like this, who mock and are in denail. at the best we are just passing judgement on their hard hearts for hashem , and ta the worst its the painful reminder of how many do not want to hear the truth.

its sickening to me those who refuse to give the poor children the benefit of hte doubt but have so much mercy for perverts – i always say if i was god i would have wiped out the entire human race a long time ago.

its amazing what you are putting out and how you found it. now my shmuel is squealing like a stuffed pig, its our bedtime and i am totally exhausted from the last few weeks of intense activity . this is going to be a hell of a movie.

Tell us all about the Rabin case! You’re the man on the inside track. Do you think he was a moser? Do you think all those pervert rabbis who cursed him, should be arrested as accessories to the crime? Barry Chamish did some good work exposing the JEWISH RAT PACK that murdered Rabin.

Tell us BO how a man hangs himself handcuffed from behind?

Talmudic Judaism came out of Babylon PERVERTED & has been ever since. Pedophilia is in the Blood of Talmudic Judaism. From the time of circumcision, these BASTARDS have been sucking little children’ s Willies. They are like Vampires!

pip i wish you would contact me privately. i am meeting the top police man tomorrow. i phoned him to give him my new pelephone number and to ask him to come over and read the court case, the first one that is successful against the perverts. he was totally shocked. then i told him i would give the police a chance to save themselves from looking like total fools, as i know the names of those protecting the perverts and am going to the media with them. he was freaked out, tomorrow at 10 we will chat. i will take him some of my information kit that i have for the media. i give them a chance, he can speak first as long as i am standing next to him with my lawyer. now he has to arrest the bastards. the judge agrees and the evidence is reaching up to the heavens. i am drowning in evidence. we got the bastards pip we got them.

barry chamish was supposed to come to a party once outside jerusalem i invited him, for rosh hashana. he had a terrible car accident and blamed me, he was so freaked out he thought i was involved. i dont know him that well, it was a new year party and had nothing to do with it. i knew nothing.and phoned him to ask why did you not come.he was scared to talk to me and then told me he was nearly killed. i asked him why he was so strained and he said he thought i set him up. that when i gave him instructions to come someone was listening to them and followed him. his ex girlfriend told me he was probably drunk. i dont like being blamed for something i had nothign to do with . so since then he has me on his list of people to hate and find a reason to lynch. when the article about spielberg came out he wrote an article saying i was responsible for it. as i have absolutely no protection here at all, besides hashem, if the police thought for one second i was involved i would be still in jail. i use my brain as a weapon and do not use violence to achieve my goals. when i go through security checks they ask do you have a weapon and i say, yes my brain. i dont do violence. and anyone that knows me for 3 minutes knows that. so right now barry is not my favourite person in the world. there are other things which i will tell you privately pip.

dont put words in my mouth bo, i know the reasons for this. i found out so much in the short time between his murder and the tv programme. he was a real swine to put it mildly. i dont assume anything. i have eye witness information from adults not children that is shocking. get a life before you put words in my mouth. dont do it.

he was murdered i was standing with the media when they received the phone call from the police that that case is being re opened as a murder. get a life bo, get a life. by the way i am meeting the top policeman tomorrow to give him the court case i am involved in for him to read so that he can start arresting the bastards.

What is truly tragic in this story is the murder of Yochanan Spielberg. How can the police rule it a suicide by hanging when his feet and hands were bound? No one can hang himself like that. Spielberg was clearly murdered, most likely by his lovely Haredi neighbors from Nahlaot – who believe in magic tunnels, magic bullets and need no material proof.

Why is the Jerusalem police NOT interrogating Spielberg’s neighbors, starting exactly with those who accused him to be a pedophile? Sitting down with those paranoid fellows for extended and well-taped conversations would be an excellent start. Also, I’d love to know exactly WHOSE fingerprints were on the rope that bound Yochanan Spielberg’s hands and feets.

Kids tell parents they fought with giants, they flew in rockets in space, met aliens, have monsters under their beds. Are Haredi parents looking after monsters under the beds? Why the state of Israel subsidies these people who don’t do their duty, who educate their kids just in subjects fit for the 13th century and who refuse to serve in the Israeli army, is impossible to understand.

On the bright side, Shimon Peres’s dream of Israeli integration into the Middle East has finally been fulfilled. We in Israel can be just as backwards as our enemies, as the violent and evil bastards who populate Gaza and Lebanon… we too have many many men who don’t work but get their women to work for then, coward wardens of the state, who learn no math or science but have plenty of time to hang out pictures of ayatollah-style rabbis (Shlomo Amar, Baba This, Baba That) in falafel shops.

The Talmudic Law of the Moser, or Law of the Jewish Informer, is essentially a covenant prohibiting a Jew from informing on another Jew to a non-Jew directly or indirectly. Such a law is diametrically opposed to the adversarial process of our own legal system in the USA and therefore conducive toward obstruction of justice.

Furthermore, among all employees at all levels of our judicial, intelligence, law enforcement, military and news media communities, the Talmudic Law of the Moser, or Law of the Jewish Informer, constitutes an impediment to frank and uninhibited exchanges of information in the discharge of their duties and therefore poses a serious threat to our national security.

For example, the Talmudic Law of the Moser thwarts the discovery process when a judge or an attorney general chooses not to allow or pursue information or lines of inquiry that might expose a Jew in wrongdoing or with questionable interests in a case. Or, the Law of the Moser constitutes the foundation of a conspiracy of silence wherein intelligence that can be considered adverse to the Zionist state and its interests is filtered or otherwise withheld from analysts or others with a rightful need to know. Or, such a law requires a Jew to keep pertinent information about a crime from police investigators. The Talmudic Law of the Moser determines whether news that pertains to the Zionist state is “fit to print”; the question “is it good for Israel?” is the formula that is applied in case after case.

One cannot overemphasize the great importance of this very real issue of the Talmudic Law of the Moser, or Law of the Jewish Informer, the history of which can be read in the Jewish Encyclopedia.

But the Talmudic Law of the Moser is not just some historical curiosity out of the Middle Ages and the Jewish Diaspora. Indeed, this law is quite real and in effect today. In support of this assertion, I cite J. Simcha Cohen’s 1997 article in the Jewish Press in which he inculcates on his readers the absolute necessity of adhering to the Talmudic Law of the Moser. Cohen is from Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia and the Jewish Press is published in Brooklyn, New York, which attests to the universality of this Talmudic Jewish practice at the very core of their belief.

Question: Jewish law considers the crime of informing upon a fellow Jew a most vile and odious sin. Why? What is the nature of the sin of the informer (the mosser) that galvanizes such a negative reaction?

Response: The Rambam rules that an informer is not to be deemed part of Klal Yisrael (Hilchot Mamrim 2:2). In another section, the Rambam notes that an informer is not to receive a share in the World to Come (Hilchot Teshuva 3:12). The rationale of the Rambam, says Hagaon Rav Hutner, z”l, is based upon the following theory: One who separates himself from the ways of the community (ha’poresh mi’darchei tzibbur) “even though he does not sin… has no share in the World to Come” (ibid. 3:11). Thus, separation from communal standards is tantamount to exclusion from the Jewish people. This, moreover, does not have to relate to any specific sin. Informing on Jews, contends Hagaon Rav Hutner, is an action that goes against the essence of Jewish communal standards. It is a behavioral pattern that is simply not Jewish. This is not what Jews do. As such, the informer (mosser) is excluded from Klal Yisrael because of his refusal to conform to the moral character of the Jewish people (Pachad Yitzhak, Pesach, Ma’amar 63:5).

Rabbi Cohen is the Rav of the Mizrachi Kehilla in Merbourne and the author of several halachic works, the latest being “How Does Jewish Law Work?” (Jason Aronson)

J. Simcha Cohen’s article, “A Jewish Informer,” appeared on page 49 of the 19 December 1997 issue of The Jewish Press, 338 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11215-1897editor@jewishpress.com

(The original article may be found on microfiche at the Judaica Collection in the main branch of the New York Public Library, located in New York City at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan. [Coming soon: Click here to view a clipping.])

Again, one cannot overemphasize that the Talmudic Law of the Moser, or Law of the Jewish Informer, is a very real issue, not unlike the Mafioso code of Omertà. The Warren Commission was virtually oblivious to it. So was the 9/11 Commission. We continue to ignore this issue at our national peril.

Let us not forget that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover refused to believe that the Mafia existed, perhaps because he enjoyed lucrative intercourse with top Mafioso capos including Frank Costello. Not until Joe Valachi (photo right) broke the Mafioso code of silence (Omertà) and disclosed the existence and inner workings of the Mafia before US Senator John L. McClellan’s Congressional Committee on Organized Crime in October 1963 did the US Government gain the wherewithal to plan effective countermeasures. Likewise, nothing will be done to overcome the conspiracy of silence based on the Talmudic Law of the Moser until members of our government discuss this very serious matter openly. Awareness must come first, then discussion, and then action.

Let us address in a forthright manner this issue of the Talmudic Law of the Moser or Law of the Jewish Informer and its legal, national security and foreign policy implications. For an overview of the Talmud itself, and the dangers its hateful ideology of racial superiority poses to our society and the world community, visit the very excellent website http://www.come-and-hear.com.

Thus far I have cited encyclopedic and journalistic references to the Talmudic Law of the Moser, and have compared it with the Mafioso Code of Omertà, and have given reference to Congressional Hearings that established this hitherto hidden fact. Now I will give a powerful example of the formidable power of the Law of the Moser in the lives of Jews in twentieth century America. This is the case of the Soviet spy Julius Rosenberg. Here is the text of an unsolicited article that I wrote and sent to the Op Ed Editor of The New York Times. Almost predictably, it was not published. The link contained therein goes to a very interesting webpage, and the referenced letter of Julius Rosenberg is at Appendix 7.

Julius Rosenberg & the Talmudic Law of the Moser

(Unsolicited article submitted to the Op Ed Editor of The New York Times)

19 September 2008

Not Published!

The earth shaking confession of 91 year old Morton Sobell that he and Julius Rosenberg were indeed spies and not victims of a politically motivated prosecution of idealistic Communist sympathizers affords Americans a golden opportunity to diagnose and treat a chronic national ill, the Talmudic Law of the Moser. Moser is Hebrew for informer, and this law prohibits a Jew from informing on another Jew to a non-Jew directly or indirectly. This was the dynamic steering captured members of their spy ring.Rosenberg himself gives us a very good example. Two weeks before his and his wife’s 19 June 1953 execution, US Attorney General Herbert Brownell sent Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons David Bennett to persuade Rosenberg to cooperate with the government in its investigation of the spy ring. Acceptance of such offer would have been good grounds for clemency, but Rosenberg rejected this.

In his 5 June letter (This link became corrupted not long after writing and sending this article to The New York Times. So far no substitute can be found.) to his lawyer Emanuel H. Bloch about his meeting with Bennett, “Julie” wrote: “In so many words he said only if I become an informer, do and say things that satisfy the officials in Washington, then they will let us live.” By “they” he meant the “goyim” in Washington. And being an “informer” (moser) is anathema to a Talmud Jew. Rosenberg preferred death to being an informer, which would have subjected him and his family to shunning by the Jewish community, despoliation and even non-judicial execution.

The Talmudic Law of the Moser is like the Mafioso Code of Omertà. It is the foundation for a conspiracy of silence. As such, this law is diametrically opposed to the adversarial process of our legal system. It frustrates a true discovery process. It violates the concept of equality under the law and establishes a subtle, two tiered system for Jews and non-Jews. And the Law of the Moser prevents or inhibits frank exchange of information within our intelligence and law enforcement communities. Above all else, this law can determine which news is “fit to print”! The test for truth has become, is it good for Israel?

Everybody knows American history is terminally under revisionist deconstruction. The JFK assassination, the USS Liberty incident and 9/11 confront us with significant prevarications, distortions and omissions in the official reports. To what extent does the Talmudic Law of the Moser explain this phenomenon? How does it work to keep us jamming the square peg of Zionism into the round hole of Palestine? How does this law conduce to manipulating the minds of Americans with propaganda? Before we set boundaries over there, we must first draw the line over here as to what is acceptable and what is not. We ignore the Talmudic Law of the Moser and its pernicious effects at our national peril.

I am the sole author of An Eight Part Peace Proposal for Greater Jerusalem.

The case of the Rosenbergs cited above is interesting in that it shows the determination to lie, proclaim innocence, project guilt on the government officials involved and welcome death to avoid being a moser, or informant. One wonders why Judge Alvin Hellerstein and Morton Sobell would let the cat out of the bag at this time, on the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Was this resurrection of the Rosenberg case a warning to the 9/11 conspirators to be very careful not to spill the beans as my Open Letters on 9/11 to the Attorney General of the USA Michael B. Mukasey were starting to make their rounds in capitals around the world?

Another recent example of what happens to a person deemed to be a moser is Bobby Fischer. Once he began to speak about the plight of the Palestinian Arabs with sympathy, he was immediately subjected to shunning, despoliation and harrassment. Yes, he comes off like the disturbed person he became. What would you do if your people were making money off your name and you were cut out entirely? Fischer’s story is told in his own words quite convincingly on his website. Unfortunately, Fischer’s website was removed from the Internet not long after his death earlier this year (2008). My fax broadcast tribute to Fischer underscored the threat he posed to “the powers that be” even after death:

Text of fax broadcast:

ROBERT JAMES FISCHER, LEGATUS PACIS: REQUIESCAT IN PACE!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK * 20 JANUARY 2008 Citizen of the USA Stephen M. St. John addresses the international community in Washington and here in New York City, all members of the US Congress as well as other organizations and individuals, public and private, and mourns the death of the great ambassador of peace, Robert James Fischer.

Otherwise known as the greatest chess genius of all time, Bobby Fischer, like a particle physicist, opened the door to aleatory chess, whereby the elements of random chance and probability give players virtually limitless possibilities and free them from rote memory retrieval so characteristic of standard high level chess.

More important was Fischer’s outspokenness on behalf of Palestinians and Serbs, who have long endured gross, full-spectrum violations of their natural and legal rights.

Fischer endured great adversity by confronting Zionist and American criminality here and abroad and lived his last years in exile. Fischer’s official website http://www.fischer.jp/ recounts the virtual plunder of his fortune and livelihood by Jews inside the USA. According to the satanic Talmud, Fischer’s politics made him a “Moser” or informant on the activities of Jews to non-Jews, and therefore subject to shunning, despoliation and even execution.

Those who doubt or dismiss Fischer’s claims as “anti-Semitism” or “paranoia” lack Talmud awareness (see http://www.come-and-hear.com) and the dispassionate viewpoint of former LAPD detective Gareth L. Wean, whose book There’s a Fish in the Courthouse, exposes the absolute power of the Jewish community to corrupt public institutions absolutely. Such is the environment in which Fischer fought and lost his battle with the USA.

But history will show that Fischer won the war on the Grand Chessboard. Kosovars and Serbs need to walk in Fischer’s footsteps at Sveti Stefan and Belgrade and review the old Yugoslavia’s forthright stand for Palestinian rights and the absurd comparison of Serb oppression of Kosovars with Zionist oppression of Palestinians. This exercise will help them get their act together rather than be pawns in the Western elites’ great game to subdue Islam and to secure Central Asia’s resources. And Bush’s Texas Two Step gambit — tying long overdue progress in Palestine with a superfluous protection racket against Iran — has been soundly defeated! Checkmate! Exit Bobby Fischer from the world stage.

and what do you know about saint spielberg, hmm well we know a lot and he aint no saint, nor his pals. you see here we know them. people go to bet knesset with them and know them. he aint no saint to the kids he raped. but then you just want to prove how smart you are and too hell with the kids. tut tut.

i called an appointement with the head cop about this case yesterday. if they thought i was involved they would lock me up and throw away the key. they know i have nothign to do with . this. go away barry chamish.

The real reason that you get so worked up, Ruth Cohen, is that –aside from not taking your medicine and drinking too much vodka– you participated at least to some degree in the murder of Yochanan Spielberg. Go ahead, sue me. But first go and give your fingerprints to the Jerusalem police. I wouldn’t be surprised your fingerprints they will be found in Spielberg’s apartment.

listen you fool the police read everything i write, skippy has hacked into my emails. i have no protection whatsoever. they would have arrested me a long time ago if they suspected i was involved. ok idiot. again i did not know about spielberg at the time of his murder till a journalist phoned me and told me. you are so braindead. oh by the way i remember something. the night of his murder it was a holiday and i went to a party and came home really late like 2 o clock and walked pst his house, and 4 haradi men were carrying out black garbage bags full of things. i did not know what to do. i have the exact dates all written down. they looked very guilty. i started screaming and they freaked out. there are videos all over our area so no doubt i am filmed doing that , walking down the road screaming death to the pedophiles at 2 in the morning. guilty people dont do that you imbecile.

So, i was born in Jerushalaym and live there.
i know that this is a real Heartbraking story. Many Children in the Haredi comunity are sexually abused by family,relatives and strangers.
Parents do not be naive! do not trust anyone with your children!, open your eyes and make sure you know were they are every moment of the day!

you have no idea how much i appreciate those who dont cover up the fact that this is happening. its so hard to be me with so many so called intelligent people ripping me to pieces all the time. at least the children appreciate what i do. i dont even know why i do this insane work at all. just driven .

Ruth and all you self-righteous non-charedi-haters – as you appreciate people not covering things up – I read that you assume all the blame on the alleged pedophiles. Would you like to also do a shout out about the charedi children factories? Pumping out children from 19yrs old until they are 60 and they are in the birthing suite GIVING BIRTH next to their daughters… Let’s look to the responsibility of the parents in how they care for their children en-mass, where they send their children & how accountable they are for the actual deaths and maiming that happens to their children because they are unsupervised, because they are sent – a 6 yr old in the care of a 4yr old on the bus into and out of town in Jerusalem. Would you like to discuss that FACT that we ALL see every day, nothing hidden because they have no shame about the neglect they pay to their children in many many instances…and then BOOM they panic because something (allegedly) happened when they weren’t (as usual) looking. I am a child psychologist & I work with children and teens who have and have not been abused who are sometimes coerced into believing what is pushed into their heads by their prents to cover up…what?. Charedim have their place – my Toldot Aron friends in Meah Shearim & Beit Shemesh are happy there ( they aren’t the ones who moved in recently & started publicly spitting on & abusing young girls & women), they are G-d fearing and careful. In a system where so-called therapists – half baked and not qualified jump on the bandwagon they generate hysteria and convince parents to “get the truth out of them” at whatever cost to mask their irresponsibility. I see no one here making light of why anyone with a large family who cannot afford proper care for them when they are off…somewhere, should not be responsible for the fantasy and tragedy that befalls their families. In Melbourne they shuffled off the head teacher of the charedi school in the middle of the night to Bnei Brak to cover everything up as she invited girls to her home and office it was PROVEN WITH REAL EVIDENCE – DNA and cameras that she had and was still doing it. REAL EVIDENCE not bed-wetting. Maybe those bed wetting children are pining for their mamas. Maybe they are withdrawn because their fathers beat them. What am I now, a charedi hater – No. I am in the interest of the welfare of our children, not the indulgence of their parents who hate-monger, persecute and panic, cover up the root of the cause and blame blame blame everyone around them….who is not charedi.

hila give me time honey. i am day and night just getting out the info. i have to start with the most important issues first which is the cover up of the rabbinim about the problem. then the issue of the perverts and then get to the ridiculous baby factories you are talking about. if you want to help me i would appreciate it. i dont have enought time to do the research for my book . its just about the time.

i am only interested in helping the ch ildren. i dont hate charadim or anyone else, only the wicked who prey on the foolish and weak. i personally hate the way they dress their girls like old women with their filthy rags and head coverings – there are so many pretty clothes that are modest to wear why dress like old rotten bags and hags. but that too is for another time.

however its an indication of the blackness in their hearts and this has to be changed.this is centuries of this garbage paraded as relgious it is a sick disgusting joke.
and next project the corruption of the yeshiva factories where the grooming of little boys starts there with their pervert teachers. so you keep the men away from their families for many hours, they are not there to provide for the kids or be with them. the mothers are out at work to provide and the perverts are raping the children. the mothers are also visiting the taxi drivers when they need sex. the men in yeshiva are with men all the time, too much time on their hand and perversion flourishes and the rabbinim like it this way and keep quiet. another story . not enough time . with help i will deal with all these issues.

How DARE you print something like this? Do you know that dozens of children, in separate interviews, were able to provide sexually explicit details that NO ONE could have coached them for? Why don’t you write an expose on the police cover-up of the pedophiles instead, you incredible fool!! How much damage have you done with this? Glad you live in Brooklyn – stay out of the Holy Land!!

please see what i have put up here. i was with the top cop yesterday to give him my new court case where i proved who is the fake doctor making the date rape drug and the judge agrees. the cop told me theere are no perverts and drugs. i told him a furious low voice that i was given the date rape drug when zalman cohen raped me and i remember enough. he shut his mouth. then he said at the end what do you want from the police., i snapped back stop protecting the perverts and act like police or i will be the police. he laughed. he knew each word i said was truth. i saw skippy grooming the children when we were in the garden and told the cop, but i did not understand what i saw. i did not know why he was acting sweet and slippery when his nature is total bastard and then other times he wou ld scream at the kids. and i saw the fear in they eyes of the kids. i did not know what i saw then now i do. so when he told me skippy is not a pervert i said my eyes tell me different. i saw him. i only clicked that thought yesterday. damn it to hell i saw him grooming the kids a number of times but in my ignorance did not know what it meant just that it was creepy,

After you posted about your meeting with the top policeman
that he said Skippy was not a pervert and there were no drugs, you have
been very quiet. We are all waiting to hear about how your court case
went. Was the judge payed off like all the others or did you have some
success on this one? Were they able to discover how and where the drugs
were made that were given to you and the other 2 and 4 year olds to confuse
them? Did they add the drugs to lollipops to give to the kids? Could you please put up a link to the court document that you said was put up somewhere on the internet. I was unable to find it.

I was also wondering. Did you ever get therapy after the 4 times you were raped? From what you write, it sounds like you have had a very traumatic life.

i found out my mother is going to die soon and i am going through a lot of personal trauma as she is the most vicious abuser i ever had. 26 close family members still dont talk to me because of her vicious lies. i put up a post about my feelings of confusion and a few minutes later a neighbour , friend of my sister wrote in . not only did she confirm what i said she told me things i have blocked out and cant remember. that i did not know like how many times her father phoned the police and they refused to come. like she saw me being beaten up re peatedl y and the whole neighbourhood knew. she saw my mother standing with arms folded enjoying my beatings, while my father and brother were hitting me. i thougt i was the one screaming, she said it was my father. now to your points.
the judge was a arab. arabs like me a lot. more than jews. i dont know how long he will stay alive for agreeing with me but then he was given a powerful letter from a woman called the rolls royce of the phsychiatrists hope that is spelled right, dr judith gedaliah. which i have copies of all the court documents, which can be found on leah amdurs page, she is my lawyer and she was also blamed by dr damelin.
i dont know how they put the drugs for the children or other victims, i know in my case cohen must have put it in my water i am always drinking a lot of water all the time.

i have a very close friend, male, who has been a great help he was sitting outside my house a few weeks ago, a neighbour came over and said to him, come and visit me and have a drink i am ruth cohens friend. my friend was given the date rape drug and found himself hours later in the street unable to move. the police picked him up. they give him drink so it looks like he was drunk. he knows something happened to him and they film everything. when the neighbour walked by i said to him why did you drug my friend, he laughed and did not deny it. this is real folks people are getting hurt here all the time. this is real.rer ilweemnon w

there is no therapy its all lies. i make the garden pretty and dance and that is how the pain goes away for a while.and i fight for those who cant so that is how i deal with it. and next week the worm cohen is on trial and i will be dancing with joy. shmuel said he would come with me to my utter surprise as he cant hear the word pedophile anymore. he has been wonderful, come to court and the police with me 3 times and they so respect him. you can not find a person better than ben david to stand with you when you are facing the mafia of rabbinim shutting down the story. a woman on her own is not credible, a woman with ben david is credible to the judges, police. when they see me with this much older sick man and ask me what is my job and i say caretaker of the elderly , i become the angel of all the angels in their eyes. i am not angel at all,nor is ben david. but the judges believe us.

i lived in manhattan beach at the time of the mcmartin investigation and this sounds exactly like what happened then. the mc martins were innocent, as were the many others accused. at the very end it became clear that there were a couple of children molested by their own father who was leading the search for evidence. he was found guilty and sent to jail, but there was no compensation for the dozens of people who had their lives destroyed by the accusations. i feel bad for this community, and the children..i know they believe all this has happened to them but they’re using the fear of having been victimized to scapegoat their outsiders. the main differences i can see between this and the mc martin case are that the mc martins weren’t social outcasts and the community involved was much larger, predominantly christian and entirely secular. if any of the children were sexually abused, statics point to a family member as the culprit. i know people find the idea repugnant and horrifying, but that’s what statistics show overwhelmingly to be true.

I know Altea Steinhartz. She is brilliant, compassionate, and most important, as HONEST as they come. She can see truth and smell lies. Her involvement in this case alone proves its devastating truth. Mr Menachem from Brooklyn, the question is not whether these horrifying incidences did or did not happen, rather what should be done from here? The police are corrupt, that we know. The courts might take years before they unleash the evidence they might be hiding, but what’s most important you failed to address. What is now being done for the children? That is where the attention needs to be focused. These victims and their families need serious professional help to cope with such trauma. Funds must be raised for this. We all know unfortunately that the abused are later on the ones who become the abusers. So help to these children is dire. You may want to consider writing a piece on where to go from here, getting the victims proper help, that would be far more productive. My heart goes out to these poor kids and their families.
